Production & Heritage

Miller Brewing Company has operated out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin since its founding in 1855 and is now part of the Molson Coors portfolio. Miller 64 is brewed using barley malt alongside hops sourced from the Pacific Northwest — specifically Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. The beer undergoes a proprietary cold-filtration process four times and is never heat pasteurized, a technique the brewery credits for its clean, fresh-from-the-tap character. At just 64 calories and 2.8% ABV, it sits at the extreme end of the light lager spectrum, engineered for drinkers who prioritize low caloric intake without abandoning beer entirely.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: The nose is deliberately restrained, opening with a faint hint of isolated oat grain followed by a subtle apple-like sweetness. There is very little hop presence on the nose, keeping the aromatic profile light and neutral.

Taste: On entry, the palate picks up weak but identifiable notes of corn and a diluted nut-like quality reminiscent of the broader Miller family profile. Mid-palate brings traces of syrupy sweetness and a distant suggestion of toasted grain. The overall impression is a muted, pared-back version of a traditional American lager, with each flavor note kept intentionally faint.

Finish: The finish is short and clean, with a delicate fizz that clears quickly. There is minimal bitterness on the close, leaving only a whisper of grain sweetness before fading completely.

How to Drink Miller 64

Serve ice-cold, straight from the can or poured into a chilled pilsner glass. Miller 64 is best consumed as a straightforward, refreshing beer rather than a cocktail ingredient, but it does work in a few simple mixed drinks. A Beer Margarita (blended with tequila, lime juice, and triple sec) benefits from the beer's low body and neutral profile. A Michelada built with tomato juice, lime, hot sauce, and Worcestershire gains easy drinkability from the ultra-light base. A simple Shandy — half beer, half lemonade — pairs well with Miller 64's mild sweetness and clean finish.

Best For

• Calorie-conscious drinkers seeking a beer under 65 calories per serving
• Extended outdoor gatherings like barbecues, beach days, or tailgates where session-length drinking is expected
• Post-workout or active-lifestyle occasions where a light, low-ABV option is preferred
• Stocking a cooler for group events with varied taste preferences

Why Miller 64?

At 64 calories and 2.8% ABV, Miller 64 occupies a specific niche that very few national brands attempt — an ultra-light beer that still maintains a connection to traditional lager flavor. The cold-filtered four times process, combined with no heat pasteurization, gives it a cleaner mouthfeel than many competitors in this segment, a quality recognized by the 2014 World Beer Cup Silver Medal. It is not trying to be a craft beer or a full-flavored lager; its purpose is delivering maximum drinkability at minimum caloric impact. For anyone whose primary metric is keeping calories as low as possible while still drinking a recognizable American beer, Miller 64 fills that role with more credibility than most alternatives.
