Beer Of The Week-June 29

It's Saturday. You've had a hard day in the yard. The mercury is pushing into the upper 90s. The humidity is 100 percent. You've paid your dues to the hydration gods by drinking the requisite amount of H2O.
You want a beer but nothing too heavy.
Reach for an ice-cold Pearl Light.
The original maker was the Pearl Brewery, established in 1883 in San Antonio, according to various Internet sources. Pearl's parent company purchased the Pabst Brewing Co. in 1985, and 14 years later, it began transferring production to Miller, closing all the Pearl breweries. Today, Pearl (my college favorite as well as the No. 1 beer for my maternal grandmother, God rest her soul) and Pearl Light are brewed at the Miller facility in Fort Worth.
Pearl Light is the best-keep secret at the end of the suds spectrum where you'll find the beer-flavored bubble waters.
If you're going to drink light beer, you might as well go all the way. As far as I know, Pearl Light - and its "68 calories of natural goodness," as a friend calls it - is one of the lightest, if not THE lightest, beer on the market. It has fewer calories than Natural Light, Bud Light, Miller Light, Coors Light and even Michelob Ultralight, whose calories range from 90 to 115.

Pearl Light is a crisp, refreshing little number that dances nicely on the tongue and leaves almost no aftertaste. It's the croaker or perch of beers.
Perhaps the best part is the price, which is between $6 and $7 for AN ENTIRE 12-PACK. It's kind of hard to find, though. I can get them at Spec's in Beaumont but have yet to see it at any of the local grocery stores.
If you want to go cheap: Pearl Light.
If you want to go light: Pearl Light.
If you want a beer that comes in a cool-looking can: Pearl Light.
