Beer In Ads #358: Miller’s Six-Bottle Man

April 28, 2011 By Jay Brooks

ad-billboard
Thursday’s ad is also from 1983, but is for Miller Brewing. The ad welcomes us to “Miller Time” and features a bearded man in a plaid shirt (at first I thought he might be a lumberjack, but alas it doesn’t look like flannel) holding six bottles of Miller High Life in both hands, that is three bottles per hand. That’s a pretty impressive feat, especially when you consider he’s holding them in such a way that every label is facing us.

    I especially like the pre-Photoshop cut and past quality. The “beer hands” are just a little flat compared to the depth found in the rest of the image.

    If you have long fingers as I do, it’s not a prob doing that trick – but I’d never allow myself to advertise shitty beer 🙂
