Miller, Bud join Mexican-style beer craze

In 2007, Miller Brewing Co. introduced Miller Chill, described as “a Chelada-style beer” blended with lime and salt. It seemed curious at first glance, and then I remembered countless Corona bottles with lime wedges stuck in their necks. Miller Chill seemed like an acceptable alternative.

A few weeks ago my Sunday newspaper showed up with a sticker announcing the arrival of Anheuser-Busch’s new Chelada. This time it was both Budweiser and Bud Light mixed with Clamato, a commercially prepared blend from Mott’s of reconstituted tomato juice and dried clam juice with a dash of high fructose corn syrup. The taste buds momentarily reeled until I recalled that Bloody Marys often come with a beer chaser and sometimes appear as Bloody Beer, a blend of tomato juice and brew.”*
