Miller High Life

Miller High Life is an inexpensive beer that can be considered the forerunner of the modern American lager beers. High Life is grouped under the pilsner category of beers, although it has slightly less alcohol than European pilsners. The prevailing slogan for Miller High Life is "The Champagne of Beers", which its easy-drinking, light and fizzy composition seem to suggest. This beer was put on the market in 1903. High Life bottles are quite distinctive, as they have a bright gold label and are made of a clear glass that has an oddly tapered neck. High Life beat out 17 other contestants to take home the gold medal in "American-style Lagers" at the 2002 World Beer Cup.

At 5.9% alcohol by volume, it is a "cheap-beer" alternative to malt liquors and other more expensive ice beers. It's relatively smooth and chills to a very cold temperature without freezing. Beast Ice as it is affectionately known as by its proponents has become a mainstay, particularly in the American Northwest, of binge drinking college students. Known to come as cheap as $10 for a 30 pack, this ice beer (Classic Taste at its Best) is suitable for any form of drinking game or merely casual sipping. Not to be enjoyed in singles, Best Ice is most often consumed in large quantities from either a keg or can. Also seen in 40s, Best Ice is generally not served in restaurants.
