Coors Brewing International is targeting heavy drinkers in the UK

with new beer Coors Light - a full-strength beer formulated to be drunk

in larger quantities.



The product, which is not a low-calorie beer and has a 4.5% ABV, is

launching in Scotland in May prior to a national roll-out.



It will be supported by a pounds 1.5m advertising campaign by Banks

Hoggins O’Shea, which positions the beer as an easy-drinking beer for a

never-ending party. It uses the strapline, ’Keep the lights on’. The

silver bottle, which maintains the brand’s Rockies heritage, was

designed by Coley Porter Bell. Anheuser-Busch launches its Bud Light

nationally this month following a successful trial in the North West

last year.
