Miller Genuine Draft?

[GoneOffShore]

I always knew it wasn't beer, and now a judge agrees.


"HAVING turned its product into tasteless industrial swill, the Miller Brewing Co. must now face the cold, hard facts:

Miller Genuine Draft is not "genuine," it's not "draft." It's not even beer.

And that's not just the opinion of Joe Sixpack. In a stunning decision issued last week, a county judge in Reading, Pa., declared that Miller isn't - at least, legally - a true beer.

Judge Jeffrey K. Sprecher didn't say what Miller is, though I certainly could've provided him with a few adjectives for the brewery's fizzy yellow water. Instead, he ruled that the prosecution in an underage drinking trial hadn't provided adequate evidence that MGD is, in fact, beer."

2. I was a Miller drinker years ago...

...then I was struck with a sharp blow to the head... :crazy:

3. hahah. Sprecher eh?

That's the name of a local microbrew here in Wisconsin. (FYI, Sprecher Special Amber is the best beer ever). Now if I were a conspiracy nut....

Anyway, funny article. I have to send this to my dad. He and my aunt (who used to work for Miller) have had an ongoing feud for decades over it's alleged merits. I think my dad just won.

4. I like Miller beers.

I usually dring Miller Lite, which I think has a slightly "yeasty" taste to it. Of course, I get mocked by my upscale friends who enjoy fancy-pants beers like Yuengling (sp?), Dogfish Head, etc. But whatever. It's a free country.

7. It's a good thing...if only I could still drink. I am one of those who can

not stand the bitter, swilly taste of the hoity toity imports we're all supposed to love. They suck, and they taste bad....and the emperor is TOO naked. :hi:
