Beer In Ads #1115: So Sparkling Clear?

February 27, 2014 By Jay Brooks


Thursday’s ad is for Miller High Life, from 1961. After the Sochi Olympics, a little skiing just made sense. This was, I believe, before Miller started using the Tetra hop that is resistant to getting lightstruck. So who knows how this beer would have tasted coming off the slopes.

    Miller uses hops of any consequence? My sarcastic definiton of the “triple hopped” BS they use in the Lite ads is one cluster added each of 3 spaced times during the boil. MGD is barely palatable from a keg; the rest of Miller’s hoplless line is better off left in the horses.
