Miller 64 24Pk

Miller 64 24Pk is a 64-calorie ultra-light American lager with 2.8% ABV, sold here as a 24-pack of 12 oz bottles. A Silver Medal winner at the 2014 World Beer Cup, this expression stands out in the ultra-light category for its proprietary quadruple cold-filtration process, which Miller says captures a fresh draft character without heat pasteurization.

Production & Heritage

Miller Brewing Company has deep roots in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where Molson Coors continues to operate the brewery at the original Miller complex. Miller 64 is brewed with water, barley malt, corn syrup, yeast, and hop extract — a streamlined grain bill designed to minimize calories while retaining flavor. The beer is cold-filtered four times and never heat pasteurized, a process the brewery credits with delivering a closer-to-draft taste profile than conventional ultra-light lagers.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: The nose is restrained and clean, opening with light corn and grain cereal notes. A subtle hint of apple and a faint oat-like sweetness round out an otherwise delicate bouquet.

Taste: On the palate, Miller 64 enters with a gentle, muted sweetness reminiscent of traditional Miller lagers at lower intensity. Mild corn and grain flavors dominate the mid-palate, joined by a diluted, slightly nutty undertone. The body is light and deliberately thin, keeping the overall impression refreshing rather than complex.

Finish: The finish is short, crisp, and clean with minimal lingering bitterness. A trace of residual sweetness fades quickly, leaving a dry, quenching close.

How to Drink Miller 64

Serve ice-cold, straight from the bottle or poured into a chilled pilsner glass to accentuate the light carbonation and pale gold clarity. This is a beer built for high-volume, low-impact drinking sessions rather than contemplative sipping.

• Michelada: The clean, neutral body takes on tomato juice, lime, and hot sauce without fighting for attention.
• Beer Margarita (Beergarita): Blended with frozen limeade concentrate, the ultra-light base keeps the drink from becoming overly heavy.
• Shandy: Mixed with fresh lemonade, Miller 64's low ABV and mild sweetness create an easy-drinking warm-weather hybrid.

Best For

• Calorie-conscious drinkers who still want a beer in hand
• Long barbecues, tailgates, or outdoor gatherings in warm weather
• Stocking a cooler for a large group with varied beer preferences
• Post-workout or casual weeknight sessions where moderation matters

Why Miller 64?

Miller 64 earned a Silver Medal at the 2014 World Beer Cup, a notable achievement in a category where most entries struggle to differentiate themselves. Its quadruple cold-filtration process and absence of heat pasteurization give it a slightly cleaner, more draft-like character than many competitors in the ultra-light space. At 64 calories and 2.8% ABV, it occupies a specific niche for drinkers who want to participate in beer occasions without the caloric load of even a standard light lager. In a 24-pack format, it is purpose-built for extended social drinking where quantity, not intensity, drives the occasion.
