According to the Oxford Companion to Beer, a light beer is one that has a significantly lower amount of calories than a comparable full-calorie version. Coors Brewing Company was the first to use the term with its introduction of Coors Light in the 1940s. Coors Light was discontinued at the start of World War II but revived in 1978 after the success of Miller Lite and its "Tastes great, less filling" advertising campaign. Bud Light followed in 1982, and today it's the most popular beer in America.

Decades later, beers that aren't too dark nor are they too heavy remain perennially popular. The following list isn't a popularity contest, though, and you won't find the brands that easily come to mind on it. From craft producers and a few brand-name breweries, here are the best light beers to sip all summer, and well, all year long

1 Night Shift Nite Lite Craft Light Lager
