Natty Light is selling Carolinas-themed cans with a $1M pledge to pay student debt

Anheuser-Busch announced Tuesday limited edition Natty Light cans for the Carolinas in honor of the value beer’s fans — college students — in the two states.

The cans, exclusive to North and South Carolina, feature vintage graphics from the early days of Natty Light’s sales and the 24-pack carrier also says “Raised in the Carolinas since 1977.”

Yes, the vintage beer is available in 24-packs, as there is no other reasonable way to buy The Natural Light Beer.

If you drink it, and you aren’t a college student, maybe it’ll remind you of the Before Times? You know, those days when we went to sporting events?

Anheuser-Busch also said it is using the specialty cans to put a spotlight on the college debt crisis in the U.S. and adding another $1 million to its college debt relief fund, started in 2018. Those interested in applying to win a college debt grant from the company can go to the website www.naturallight.com/natty-stories-2021.

The aid is not directly tied to sales of the specialty cans.
