MillerCoors has been experimenting.  With what?  Everything from coconuts, apples, & more.  One of particular interest?  Amber Lager. The Third Shift signals a new series from MillerCoors.

Amber Lager is born out of experimentation by MillerCoors brewers.  Third Shift just won an award at the 2012 World Beer Cup.  Described on a sales sheet as – “Sweet maltiness that dominates slightly over a clean, hop bitterness.”

AdAge reports that Third Shift Amber Lager has already made debuts in Nevada, Texas, and some of California.

Speculation:  Amber Lager is hoping to be some competetion for Yuengling, a brand currently on fire.
