Miller High Life is truly an awesome beer. It’s price is low and the quality is high. Sure it’s not a craft beer or “high class” but as far as I am concerned, it gives you the most ‘bang for your buck’. I live in Arizona, and it’s widely available. In fact, at Chase Field, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks, they actually serve it on tap. That’s awesome!

im sure half the people talking sh*t about high life haven’t had one in a while. it’s cheap, easy to drink, available everywhere and freakin’ rad when it’s ice cold and hot as hell outside. it’s american beer it’s not some microbrew and it’s not trying to be. put that trucker hat on grow a manbeard be ironic and drink some high life crash your fixie blow some sh*t up. be american. be rad.

This strata of commercial American beer is complete pig-swill! It’s as false a product as a MacDonald’s hamburger and just as disgusting. This is not to mention the massive and ominous empire that the American beer lobby represents in Washington.

If you’re really a proud American you should seek out a smaller American brewery like Dogfish Head (there are a ton more) that tastes better, is made better and supports a true American industry…not a massive global empire that’s more likely than not owned by foreigners.

New packaging, but the same great taste… the only beer i’ve purchased for the past 5 years… after all it is the “champagne of beers” oh – the High Life!!!!!

Don’t tell a friend – keep it cheep…. God know’s that we don’t need another over priced beer.

Of all the beers made by the big 3 I give High Life the crown. If you haven’t already you should read Travels With Barley by Ken Wells. Americana+beer book+road trip=great reading.

Wow Michael you really stirred up a hornet’s nest of beer snobs. On occasion I like a domestic served in a glass with chipped ice. So what??? About 15 years ago I lived close to the Miller Plant in Irwindale, Ca. Kind of nice to pass your time in traffic on the 210 fwy and smell those hops a brewing. Cheers to your write up and I think you raised a nice observation of how Miller really should be capitalizing on this Americana Fever with a decent ad campaign.

There’s only one thing left to say……………

“IF YOU’VE GOT THE TIME….
WE’VE GOT THE BEER, MILLER BEER…..
MIIIIIILERRRR TASTES TOO GOOD TO HURRY THROUGH.
BUT WHEN IT’S TIME TO RELAX,
MILLER STANDS CLEAR, BEER AFTER BEER ,
IF YOU’VE GOT THE TIME,YOU’VE GOT THE TIME,
WE’VE GOT THE BEER, MILLER BEER.”

That is the AD CAMPAIGN, not Errol Morris ,that should remind you
and help you to remember the way it’s supposed to be.

Whether its Weekends were made for Michelob, Tonight let it be Lowenbrau,
When you say Bud you’ve said it all, the spirit of those times had it right.
The atmosphere of the old fashioned steak dinner, the old fashioned pub,
where cigars flowed freely, the poker table with Oscar Madison type
men,the connection and sponsorship to the sportsworld, what was
watching Wide World Of Sports without the classic beer ads,
the skiers, the outdoor activity, the campfire grills,the warm holiday ads,
the hard day at work laborers, where the beer capped of the day perfectly,
and made it all worth it……….ADULTS. Not this asinine party atmosphere
marketing to those just becoming of legal drinking age for the last 20-25
years. Return to celebrating the way it used to be. That’s what’s missing
in modern translations of yesteryears classic beers.

I much prefer the previous generation cans but how can you argue with 30 of them for under $15?
