About Natural Light
Natural Light was launched in 1977 as Anheuser-Busch's first light beer and is sold almost entirely on price, making it a fixture of American student drinking. Its Naturdays flavoured extension attracted attention in the late 2010s. The brand has also run stunts such as paying off student loan debt, aimed squarely at that audience.
