Beer In Ads #348: Miller’s High Life On The Farm

April 14, 2011 By Jay Brooks

ad-billboard
Thursday’s ad is for Miller High Life, showing a time capsule of a scene on what appears to be a farm. But one of those genteel farms of yesteryear. There’s a horse stable in the background, and in the field there’s a groups of dogs and three people who look ready for an English-style fox hunt. The foreground shows a butler serving a couple some Miller High Life on a tray, though the bottles on the table are still over half full. And I thought dalmatians were not good at hunting (too high strung), but then maybe that’s why the woman is holding the dog.

    The dogs may be pointers, and if they don’t drink too much Miller, may catch the fox!

    Gotta love the blatant racism and stereotyping occurring in vintage advertising.
    And on the note of the dalmations… no they are not good hunters, but evidently they love the Champagne of Beers, as the one in the foreground appears quite thirsty
