Bottled Up


Well, life is better now. Er, should I say that it's atleast in relaxation mode for me. Just got home from my business ethics. Work's been done for the day for about five hours, my feet are up in the recliner, the tv's on, and there's an ice cold High Life in my hand. Life is good. As I sit here sipping the cold brew, I can't help but make mention on what a good job Miller's marketing department is doing. I probably should've stated by telling you that I'm a bottle guy; beer always tastes better out of a bottle. Nothing against cans, but there's just something about bottled beer. Sorry about that, just figured that you needed to know that it was a cold bottled High Life I am drinking. But, like I was saying the Miller marketing department is just on the top of their game. A cold bottled High Life is just proof of that. The bottle is modeled off of a champagne bottle and why shouldn't it be for the "Champagne of Beers"? Not only that, but the extra effervescence just make it fit the champagne look. And the label, subtle but elegant. The golden beer just makes the white label stand out. It's all capped off by "the girl in the moon" right on the neck of the bottle.


In my opinion this is probably the best looking bottled beer out there. Whether you drink High Life or not, I would bet that just by looking at a bottle of High Life beer, you could identify it. It's got a sleek sexy appeal, that is just classic in appearance. The same appeal that Marilyn Monroe has. Sheer elegance.

  2. Comparing beer to Marilyn Monroe? Pretty bold statement right there. I was really interested to find out that they modeled the bottle after a champagne bottle. Looking at it now it totally makes sense, but I guess it just never hit me before. And here I thought I knew everything about beer...keep that information coming!

  3. I have to agree on drinking a bottled beer over a draft or can beer. Though there are certian beers like Guinness that are better out of a tap, noting compares to an ice cold beer out of a bottle.

  5. p.s. I wouldn't drink a canned beer unless someone threatened to cane me. Also, canned soda's been linked to, oh, dementia, things like that. So I don't see how cans would be o.k. for beer. I mean, with beer, who needs to risk losing additional brain cells? Bottles always!
