AFTER nearly 30 years a popular beer company has discontinued its low-calorie options.
Miller High Life is called "The champagne of beers" for its unique flavor and packaging.
In 1974, the company introduced Miller High Life Light — not to be confused with Miller Lite — which is largely considered to be the original light beer.
At the time there was a growing demand for low-calorie, low-carb beer, and Miller jumped on the opportunity to fill the void, according to My Bartender.
It was made using the same strain of yeast that was used to make the rest of Miller beers resulting in the distinct flavor that Miller fans already loved.
Unfortunately, after almost 30 years the beer was discontinued in 2021.

A tweet from the account Discontinued Foods! (@snack_memories) account explained that the drink was dropped due to a lack of consumer interest and shrinking sales.
One fan said: "No dwindling sales int he house I grew up in...that stuff was my dad's blood type."
"And honestly, it was my personal beer of choice as fat as domestic swill goes, it had kind of a weird smoky note to it that I liked."
Another fan wrote: "They're discontinuing Miller High Life Light...thoughts and prayers appreciated."

"RIP Miller High Life Light. You were the staple of my junior year of college," someone else tweeted.
The U.S. Sun reached out to Molson Coors, parent company of Miller Brewing Company, for more information on the discontinuation and to see if there are any plans for another light beer option.
We have yet to hear back.
TAPPED OUT
Over the years many alcoholic drinks have come and gone.
Before the days of ready-to-drink cocktails and hard seltzer, people were partying with wine coolers and caffeinated cocktails.
One of the most popular alcoholic drinks of yestertear was Zima.
It was a malted beverage created by Coors as an alternative for people who didn't like beer.
Some people said it tasted like Sprite, so many would pair it with hard candies like Jolly Ranchers and Skittles to add some flavor.
Fans enjoyed Zima from the 90s through 2008 when it was ultimately discontinued.
And who could forget about the iconic original Four Lokos.
This drink offered 12 percent alcohol by volume and a hefty dose of caffeine in a 24-ounce serving.
That combination proved to be strong enough to cause lasting health implications in consumers, leading to a caffeine-free remake in 2010.
Four Loko hasn't lost any steam — it was one of the fastest-growing brands last year.
