Miller Lite invented a Beer-Infused Charcoal called “Beercoal”

For grilling season, Miller Lite came up with a beer-infused CHARCOAL that they’re calling “Beercoal.”  They also added a silly slogan:  “Turn Miller Time into Griller Time.”

They announced it last-minute and started selling them on their website yesterday for $12 a bag.  They immediately sold out, but posted a note that said it’ll be “back soon.”

It’s not clear if they’ll sell it in stores or not.  But within minutes, someone was already trying to sell a bag on eBay for $250.  Miller’s press release said it could be “purchased nationwide.”

Each briquette is infused with concentrated Miller Lite.  So it’s supposed to give whatever you grill a slight beer taste.  They say the food cooked over it is “safe for all ages” though.  So the charcoal itself won’t get you drunk.
