Miller High Life

edited February 2009 in All Encompassing Trip
My snobby, "quality" beer-loving friends dog me for drinking it because it's cheap, therefore it must be inferior. But after a long day, a bottle of the High Life is pretty hard to beat.
Anyone else enjoy drinking cheap beer?

    Im a fan of Busch regular.....but I'm in college!

    But yea price doesn't equal quality. Rolling Rock used to be incredibly cheap and then people decided it was a great beer.

    With some beers it's all marketing

    drink on

    Screw them! MHL is "the Champagne of beers" hahaha it's a good drink...it's cheap, and when it's cold and frosty it hits the exact spot.

    and I kinda thought this was a "Mexifornian" thing...hahaha :oops:

    I love the High Life. It may be cheap, but it is damn good!

    I gotta say it.....Drinking Miller is like smoking shwag......same for PBR...if you got money for college tuition you got money to atleast move up to Rolling Rock or Busch :o
    The bus came by and I got on!!!!!

    When I was in college I drank the shit out of some cheap beer! Busch, PBR, Natty, High Life...
    I'm out of school and make good money now, drink better stuff...and rarely do so but I will still pick up a case of Bud Light/or Bud from time to time.
    That's my cheap beer now.

    I consider myself a bit of a beer snob, but I've got nothing with knocking back some cheap beer every once and a while.
    When money is tight, cheap beer is better than no beer!

    But it's not about having money. My point with this was saying that just because it's cheap people think it's inferior, when I don't think that's true.
    I also love that you brought up Rolling Rock, when somebody here already pointed out that Rolling Rock used to be a cheap beer too, until they raised the price and it all of a sudden became "cool" to drink it. The product didn't change, just the price went up. Great example of people letting marketing companies make their decisions for them.

    Rolling Rock is nasty...

    Isn't that what happened to Corona too? I believe when Corona first came out it was a "cheap, nasty Mexican beer", but then people started putting limes in it, they raised the price and people now think it's the best.

    I know! There are certain bars up here in Michigan that consider Corona a "premium" beer, and charge more for it. And people pay it.
    I can't stand the stuff. It always tastes skunk to me.
    I always love when somebody tells me, "that's just how it tastes, you have to put a lime in it and it tastes better..."
    Sorry, I don't think you should have to put fruit in your beer to cover up it's foul taste.

    Hahahaha.
    I don't mind Corona, but rarely ever get it if i'm at a bar or restaurant. It's not a premium beer and I'm not spending $7-8 for a bottle of that.

    I don't mind fruit in beer though. An orange in Blue Moon is tasty, as is a lemon in some lighter wheat beers. In those cases, I don't think they cover the flavor of the beer, just add to it.

    I agree, I can't stand Corona and putting a lime in it does nothing to me. I also find it funny how people will order it all summer or at the beach since that is the "type" of beer it is.

    True that, can't stand Corona even unfruited! And what's with oranges and beer my god. What's next a black and tan and banana? I'll just have Lite and make it 8 of them

    Busch is the ass of Bud.

    Busch even smells nasty.

    I have certainly downed more than my fair share of the High Life in my day, but it has been a while. Definitely a good beer and I actually started drinking it in college because I just couldn't stomach another Milwaukee's Best -- The BEAST" -- and it was comparably priced.

    Plus, its commercials are fuckin' hilarious! I love that dude!
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    I'm one of those beer snobs. I tend to drink micros and craft brews. I don't think you can argue that they have more taste.

    Aside from some very amusing commercials the only thing good about High Life is that its beer.
