Rated 5 out of 5 by from Delicious results! I recently tried Kingsford Beercoal charcoal while grilling, and I couldn't be more impressed with the results! This unique charcoal blend truly enhances the flavors of Brats, Burgers, and Chicken, taking them to the next level. The fusion of charcoal with actual beer elements adds a subtle depth that complements the meats beautifully. As they cook, I can smell that enhanced richness permeating the air, giving each bite a delightful flavor that is simply irresistible. Additionally, the charcoal burns evenly and provides consistent heat, making the grilling process smooth and enjoyable. The tantalizing aroma that fills the air while grilling only adds to the excitement of outdoor cooking. Kingsford Beercoal charcoal is an excellent choice for anyone looking to elevate their grilling game. If you love flavorful dishes as much as I do, this is a must-have for your next cookout!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from New favorite for grilling We have found our new favorite charcoal! The first thing we noticed is that this charcoal is super easy to light, and it seems to heat up very quickly. We were ready to grill inside of five minutes! We also noticed that it seems that the wood content is higher in this charcoal, and it gives off a really nice smoke. This does seem to burn a little hotter than other charcoals, so this is something to keep in mind. We grilled bratwurst for our first experiment, and my husband absolutely loved the extra smoky flavor, and feels like the addition of beer gave it an extra depth of flavor. We will be looking for this to purchase for every backyard picnic!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Flavorful! Kingsford Beercoal was such a pleasant surprise! It's actually made with real beer, and you can really taste the difference it gave our steaks an extra boost of flavor. The bag is generously sized and should last through a few cookouts. My husband grilled some steaks and they came out perfectly. This is a solid choice for summer grilling definitely worth picking up!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from If You Got The Time We Got the Beer and now the Ch I received a bag of Kingsford Miller Lite Beercoal for free in exchange for my honest review. I am an avid charcoal griller. In my opinion, charcoal is far superior to gas in every single way. Kingsford briquettes are my usual go-to for most of my grilling activities. So, my interest was piqued when I saw that they had come out with Miller Lite Beercoal! Beer-infused charcoal? Why didn't someone think of this sooner? The whole idea is certainly fun. I'm not sure how much, if at all, the beer-infused charcoal transfers to the delicious grilled meats, but the scent is pretty good while you're cooking. The performance of Kingsford meets every expectation. I poured a chimney and lit it and it was ready in 15 minutes. It burns well, and it burns hot. If you're a fan of Miller Lite and grilling, you've got to pick up a bag or two for your next cook!
