Talk:Light beer

I read somewhere that legally, light beer only had to be lighter in color. I don't know if this is true, but could someone check it?

Coincidence that the Misunderstood Guinness qualifies as Light beer
American light beer drinkers might call untried Guinness motor oil, but it's actually very mild what about a hundred calories and only low 4% alcohol. B137 (talk) 02:35, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

US-centric article
This article, as it is, is largely just about "Light/Lite beer" in the US. Right off the bat, the first section claims its history began with "fits and starts" and a 1975 "nationwide" (which nation?) rollout. Contrast with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-alcohol_beer which off the bat talks about low-alcoholic beer dating back to medieval Europe. Literally every single reference in the history section refers to US breweries. Although I feel this entire page could be merged into the low-alcohol beer page, it could also be modified to at least clarify it talks about "light beer" in the US (and regions where it is exported), as the concept itself appears largely an American invention. Until then, I feel the Globalise template is warranted. 89.98.82.213 (talk) 16:38, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
