Miller Lite Offers Free Beer Across New York This Friday

International Beer Day Celebration Includes Local Bars

New Yorkers looking for a treat can celebrate International Beer Day with a complimentary pint. Miller Lite is distributing 50,000 free cans nationwide, with several locations in New York State participating in the giveaway.

Fifty Years of Miller Lite

To mark its 50th anniversary, the brewery is partnering with over 450 bars and restaurants. On August 1st, patrons at select establishments can claim one free Miller Lite as part of the brand’s milestone celebration.

New York Locations for Your Free Brew

In Manhattan, The 7B Horseshoe Bar and Doc Watsons are among the spots offering the free beer. Long Island residents can visit Lilly’s of Long Beach or Minnesota’s in Long Beach. Other participating venues include Brodie’s in Mohegan Lake, Captains Table in Monroe, Farrell’s of BK in West Islip, Nutty Irishman in Farmingdale, and Trionas in New York City.

For those not near a participating bar, more details on how to join the celebration can be found on the Miller Lite website. The brand’s initiative comes as craft beer sales continue to grow, with the U.S. craft beer market valued at approximately $26.2 billion in 2022 (Statista 2023).

The state also boasts a colorful array of craft beers with uniquely New York names, reflecting local culture and humor. From playful puns to historical nods, these monikers add an extra layer of local flavor to the craft beer experience.
