Let Us Now Bow Our Heads


The man who’s given credit for inventing light beer has died.

Joseph Owades was 86 years old. His brother said he died Friday of heart failure at his home in Sonoma, Calif.

He worked for several beer companies and ran a consulting firm that helped both Miller and Budweiser develop products.

In addition to light beer, he’s credited with creating the formulas for some well-known brands, including Samuel Adams and Tuborg.
