Molson Coors Canada have launched a new brand extension to their flagship Molson Canadian lager.
Molson Canadian 67 is a light beer brewed to 3.0% abv with 67 calories, which the press release notes is “half the calories of a glass of wine or a single mixed drink and one-third fewer calories than light beer.”
Also from the press release:
Molson Canadian 67 is specially brewed for Canadian beer tastes by blending two-row malted barley, a touch of wheat, and a triple hopping method using four different varieties of hops. The result is a light beer with rich colour, creamy foam, and the clean flavour you expect from other light beers with only two-thirds the calories.
Molson Canadian 67 has been launched in Ontario and Atlantic Canada to start, with a roll-out to other provinces planned to follow by the end of November.

What a great tasting beer and I love the less calories! It is a little more costly though with less alcohol content.
Glenn Smith // Nov 8, 2009 at 2:25 pm
I wonder how many carbs?
Shankatank // Nov 18, 2009 at 5:34 pm
Well, if it’s low calories, it’s low carbs! Calories are the measure of energy which derive from either fat (fat calories) or from carbohydrate (carbohydrate calories) and there ain’t gonna be any fat in a beverage like beer (in a cocktail that uses cream etc. there would be). Calories and carbohydrate go up and down together in a drink like this.
When will we get it in the UK? Might encourage me to go out drinking more. Also, anyone know what % vol it is?

3%!!! You might as well drink water!

I emailed the company, for the same question. There are 4 grams of carbs per bottle.

I tried the beer last night and it wasn’t bad at all. If you are counting carbs and sugar, this is a wonderful product.

I am a displaced Canadian now living in California and I would like to know if this Molson Canadian 67 will be available here in the US and when? Fortunately, Molson Canadian is available here and it’s definitely my flagship lager :)

If it is Atlantic Canada, it includes NL. How come I can’t find it?
arron perry // Dec 22, 2009 at 12:37 pm
molson Canadian 67 ads are so proud that this new beer has only 67 calories. What they don’t tell you is that there are ONLY 3% alchol.
Pauly // Dec 23, 2009 at 10:39 pm
How does that saying go again?
If I’d want water I’d ask for water…
Jacquie // Dec 27, 2009 at 11:09 am
Why this beer is perfect for me…
1. I like the taste of beer.
2. I like the lower calories.
3. Getting drunk is not in my agenda.
I don’t want water, but that doesn’t matter here, does it?
Nancy // Dec 27, 2009 at 11:28 pm
I actually like the beer, and kutos to the bars that serve it. I am able to have a social beer with all my friends after a game and not worry about an impared charge or a suspension because I want a beer.

this is a fabulous tasting beer and only 67 calories. The only way this beer could be better is if you could get it in cans. We are campers/outdoor people and cans are so much more easier than bottles to pack and also to bring home. Bottles take extra care in packing and often in transit the empties will break when returning them home.
mike // Jan 28, 2010 at 9:06 pm
for sure put it in cans and also 6 or 8 packs
cheryl // Apr 14, 2010 at 5:46 pm
Is this beer sold in Quebec yet cant find it anywhere ????
Peter // Apr 23, 2010 at 8:30 pm
Is “67″ available on draft?
Ted // May 2, 2010 at 8:34 pm
This beer is decent tasting and of course very light, and contains only 3% alcohol. The great thing about this is you can bring a 6 or 12 pack to a party, share some of it and, depending on your weight, drink it slowly all night long and never become impaired! So it has a good taste and allows you to be social without getting hammered. If you want to get hammered, you have many other options and probably don’t care to drink light beer very much.
J C // May 11, 2010 at 5:31 pm
LMAO ! Ted!
Donna // Jun 12, 2010 at 5:56 pm
Love this beer! It is not only good tasting, but low in calories! Maybe women would like it more than men, with the low alcohol content. I too wish it would come in cans!!!!
crystal // Jul 6, 2010 at 3:02 pm
I really enjoyed the light taste. Very refreshing after a hot day at work, with no worries of extra calories. I seem to have a slight allergic reaction to this beer. Does it contain any lactose?
Kay // Aug 5, 2010 at 5:08 pm
Hey I live in Atlantic Canada and we have it in cans, oh ya ahah
YOU GUYS ARE SUCKERS! // Aug 31, 2010 at 9:51 am
because it’s only 3% alcohol you’re actually paying more for less. It’s the same as drinking half a regular beer except you’re paying full price! I mean why not just drink one beer at twice the cals and twice the booze content, instead of drinking 2 ($$) of the 67s? Or if you want to stick to 60ish cals (OR LESS) have a rum/whiskey/vodka and diet something…
Come on guys… you’re paying to be scammed!
