SONOMA, Calif. The man who's given credit for inventing light beer has died.

Joseph Owades (oh-WAY'-deez) was 86 years old. His brother says he died Friday of heart failure at his home in Sonoma, California.

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.
