Beer In Ads #2028: As If It Were The Only One

September 9, 2016 By Jay Brooks


Friday’s ad is for Miller High Life, from 1969. In this ad, a half-empty bottle sits next to a full glass of beer. I like the minimalism of the ad, lots of negative space, although the text doesn’t make a lot of sense. I know Miller knows they don’t brew beer in a bottle, or a bottle at a time, but apparently their ad agency isn’t so sure.
