Miller High Life!
Miller High Life, in a plastic cup, no less!
7/30, and I am at the Old Town Arcade, which is a kinda crapy arcade and a kinda crappy bar cramed together. Previously in the evening I shot at animated monsters. Yeah!
OK, call me crazy, but I kinda like High Life. It has almost an apple flavor. Ok, I'm going to do this totally backwards, and please realize that I understand exactly how ridiculous this is, but it reminds me of Boddingtons, but without the cream, or the quality.
Actually I'd be shocked if an American beer drinker had no idea what this beer was about.
Time for several brief assides: first, I loved this beer in college. Well, loved is really not the correct term. Instead perhaps "was deeply infatuated with" is more accurated, in that it was my cheap beer of choice. Actually I'll revise that to "fuck friends". I think that establishes my relationship to this beer acurately. I knew exactly what this beer was about, and when I was lazy, cheap, or unispired, I would drink it. It was never my first choice, but always a good choice. Good times, good times.
Secondly, Miller enlisted Wieden + Kennedy to do some amazing comercials. Truly excellent.
WDTB? "Whores, pimps, gamblers, and sons of bitches, by which he meant Everybody." (Stienbeck, Cannery Row)
WSDTB? "Saints and angels and martyrs and holy men". More importantly, who shouldn't? Anyone who thinks the first quote does not apply to them. Actually I will revise that. Those are exactly the people who should be drinkinging this beer. Would do them good. Which was Stienbeck's point, I'd wager. But I bet Doc drank something else. Oops, now I'm going to be obsessed with what beer Doc used in his beer milkshake for a long time.
