Michelob launches Ultra Amber

Posted Feb 6th 2006 11:13AM by Nick Vagnoni

Now, light beer has never been my thing. Neither has Michelob. But, I know that there are a lot of folks out there that drink the low-cal/low-carb Michelob Ultra. If this is you, then you might like to know that Michelob Ultra Amber is now available nationally. Designed to be a more full-flavored light beer, Mich Ultra Amber didn't fare too well with the folks at RateBeer.com (surprise). One reviewer noted that this was just regular Ultra with coloring added. Others complained that the brew wasn't even dark enough to merit being called "amber." Still, if you're on the low-carb beer train, at least this will offer you a little more variety.

And while it is a good idea to provide enough snack foods to satisfy the cravings of your guests, it is nice to snack with your friends without ending up looking like a member of your favorite football team.

Potato chips are the number one snack. Test out a few brands that bake their chips instead of frying them to find one you like, or make your own pita chips. Better yet, leave out the chips and fill your plates with chopped and sliced vegetables, which are crunchy and go great with almost any dip. If your favorite dip happens to be high in fat - a spicy cheese or hot artichoke dip - do yourself a favor and use vegetables or crackers for dipping instead of chips. Pretzels, both hard and soft, are often low in fat and make great snack food, especially when paired with mustard or some other dip.

Tip of the Day

When cooking apples, save your apple cores and peels. Boil them for a half hour, simmer them, and save them for the next apple pie!
