Rated 5 out of 5 by from Loved it I recently tried the Kingsford Beer-Infused Charcoal, and I have to say—it adds a fun twist to grilling! 🍺🔥 The charcoal lights easily and burns evenly, just like Kingsford’s regular briquettes, but what makes this special is the subtle, smoky beer aroma it gives off while cooking. It’s not overpowering, but it adds a nice hint of flavor, especially to meats like burgers, brats, and ribs. Great for backyard cookouts when you want to impress guests with something a little different. If you’re a grill master (or just a beer lover), it’s definitely worth trying at least once! Very durable great value and traditional packaging

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to light! This Kingford Beercoal is a great way to kick off the bbq season! It lights fast without any fuss! One thing I did notice is a slight cracking as the coals heated up which hubby was a fan of! I received this complimentary but have found it at my local Sam’s club and already purchased another bag!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Definitely a fun way to cook The Kingsford Beercoal took a while to burn to the point where we could cook. The food was delicious and I couldn’t really tell if the scent was any different. Packaging was great but would be nice if you could reseal the bag somehow. I would purchase this if I saw it in the store.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Cool it’s from a beer company I don’t notice a scent or a different in the meat when cooked. But it works just like any other coal you need for the fire! Just cool that it’s from a beer company .

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to light & enhances flavors! Kingsford Miller Lite Beercoal is a quick igniting charcoal that burns really good and evenly. It is ready within 15 minutes and made with Miller Lite Beer without the alcohol. These briquettes can be used in any standard bbq grill for Miller Lite infused smoke flavor. They do give a smoky flavor to your favorite meats and enhances flavors. The coals definitely have consistent heat as well. Our household definitely recommends Kingsford Miller Lite Beercoal for our barbeque needs for added smoky flavor!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Tried Kingsford Beercoal for the first time this weekend, and I was seriously impressed. The moment it hit the grill, there was this amazing, subtle aroma of beer that added a whole new depth to the flavor of the food. It gave the meats a rich, smoky taste with just a hint of maltiness—nothing overpowering, just that perfect something extra. It lit quickly, burned evenly, and stayed hot throughout the entire cookout.If you love grilling and enjoy experimenting with flavor, Kingsford Beercoal is absolutely worth it. It brings something fun and flavorful to the table and really elevated our backyard BBQ experience. Will definitely be stocking up for the summer! Thank you, @influenster, and @Kingsford for sending me this product #complimentary!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Kingsford is king I received this bag of Kingsford Miller Lite Beercoal Charcoal Brisquets from Kingsford and Influenster in exchange for my honest opinion. If you have a grill master in your household, you're going to want to try these while they are available. These brisquets caught fire and heated well using the charcoal chimney. They burn hot and last a good amount of time. We couldn’t really tell the difference between the Beercoal and regular Kingsford charcoal (which is thought of highly in our house) flavor wise but were certainly not disappointed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great BBQ Flavor Kingsford Beercoal Charcoal Briquettes 16 pound bag is made with real beer. They were easy to use. Place them in the pit and add lighter fluid. Light the coals and let the fire die down. They burn evenly and our ribs were delicious.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Delicious grilled goodies with BEERCOAL! Kingsford Charcoal Briquets meets Miller Lite Beer 🍺 I'm a charcoal snob and will only buy Kingsford, so when I got this bag, I was beyond excited because who doesn't like a little beer flavor with their grilling goodies. Their easy open, sturdy bag is very much appreciated!! These briquets are huge and look almost like there's little sticks mixed up into them. When first lit, they totally crackle sounding like a campfire 🔥. It doesn't take long before your coals are hot and ready. I could smell the scent of beer while the food was cooking, but it was not overwhelming. I cooked up some brats, and they tasted perfect! It's just a hint of beer flavor with the perfect charcoal cooking flavor. The price is worth it for Kingsford BEERCOAL.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Miller Lite Time These Kingsford Charcoal Miller Lite Beer briquettes are made with real Miller Lite and release the essence of beer as they burn giving the meat with a smoky beer taste that's subtle yet slight different than normal Kingsford charcoal. Fun addition to summer barbecues.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worked good for my steak I used this Beercoal on my Big Green Egg and it lit up quick with no problem. It burned nice and hot the whole time and gave a good smell while cooking. The steak came out with a nice flavor and the coals lasted the whole grill. The bag was easy to carry and didn’t spill everywhere. For the price, it did the job and I’d use it again when grilling. Simple and worked how I needed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great boost of flavor When it comes to Kingsford charcoal I think of flavor, and the Kingsford Lite Beercoal brigettes does just that. I grilled out a variety of meats and, the Beercoal gave my meat a smoky enhanced flavor and it taste amazing. It enriched the grilling flavor, and gives it an extra boost, that the everyone enjoyed. Kingsford Lite Beercoal comes in a 16LB durable heavy duty bag, and will last through many grilling. The burn time to get red coals doesn't take long, and your ready to place the meat in the grill. Highly recommend for an extra boost of flavor for your meats.
