Natty through the years

Natural History

Introduced in 1977, Natural Light was Anheuser-Busch’s first reduced-calorie light beer instantly becoming a hit. In 1995, Natural Ice debuted, featuring a higher ABV that quickly made it America’s best-selling ice beer.

In 2008, Natural Light shocked the world, taking bronze at the World Beer Cup for “American-style light lager”. With that honor in pocket, Natural Light went into orbit in 2011, becoming the first beer in space.

Currently, Natural Light is one of America’s best-selling light beer brands.
