Fancy new Miller Lite flavors

Miller is going to roll out some different kinds of Miller Lite later this year. I am optimistic:

Miller is pushing the beer's ''Lite'' aspect as much as its ''craft'' taste. The beers all have 110 calories per 12-ounce serving, which is more than Miller Lite's 96 calories. But it's less than full-calorie craft beers.

Miller Lite's amber style is to compete with New Belgium Fat Tire, which has 159 calories per serving. Wheat will go against Blue Moon, made by Molson Coors Brewing Co. -- which is set to combine U.S. operations with Miller later this year. That has 169 calories. The blonde ale will go against Bass Ale, a British brew imported by Anheuser-Busch Cos., with 155 calories per serving.

Who knew Bass Ale was only 155 calories? I am going to have to go back to drinking it.
