Miller High Life―Why is it cheaper than Miller Genuine Draft?

So based on this thread I grabbed a sixer of High Life tonight as the beverage de jour, and I have to agree that it’s the best of the cheap macrobrews. I hadn’t had one in a long time, but it’s smooth and while not exactly complex, it’s certainly better than Coors Light in the flavor department. It’s an American lager, but there’s still a bit of flavor in there. All in all it’s a pretty decent deal for the $3.99 price point. I’d certainly do it again over other beers in that price bracket like Icehouse or Red Dog or Busch. This is totally classic American “lawn mowing” beer. When it’s hotter than hell, this goes down nice and easy without the total sacrifice of taste. I might even get some more of it in case it gets too hot for Guinness again. As a matter of fact, it’s just as good as the beers in the next price point like Bud or MGD. Next party I go to I’m arriving with some High Life under my arm for the sharing beers.

You’ve nailed it. I like Miller High Life, but prefer Bud. I’ll drink MGD anytime it’s available. Nobody will be disappointed if you bring High Life to the party, unless they’re pretentious snobs.

I like to try anything once and I’ve come across some decent imports and micros but High Life and Bud still have a spot in my fridge.
