Imported Lagers

Coors Third Shift Amber Lager is the first in a series of smaller batch beers that MillerCoors plans to put into the wider market, possibly with marketing featuring the brewing creators — which would follow a selling tactic successfully used by smaller craft brewers. Still, MillerCoors is not describing Third Shift as a craft brew. Rather, the beer will be priced a bit lower than the average craft in a category MillerCoors is calling “invitation” beers. With a more easy-drinking style than some of the more complex crafts, Third Shift seeks to win drinkers who “want to try something new but they don’t have a lot of money in their pockets”.
