Any thoughts on Miller Low Life 'The Beer of Champagnes'?**
No_Limit_Hokie • 02/23/23 01:41 PM ET
I love High Life. It’s a really solid beer. **
Brewing_Hokie • 02/23/23 01:56 PM ET
Perfect "I just finished cutting grass" beer imo.**
s.mill hokie • 02/23/23 02:43 PM ET
Yup sure is. **
Brewing_Hokie • 02/23/23 03:03 PM ET
The best beer I ever had was a pony bottle of Miller High Life after

Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/23/23 12:25 PM ET
Bud Ice was my 2nd beer. First was Hatuey, a Cuban style beer.**
NokieHokie • 02/23/23 12:28 PM ET
I tried a "Sour" once. God was that bad. Now, it wasn't necessarily bad
Late 80s Hokie • 02/23/23 11:57 AM ET
Same here. Tried one at Rising Silo. Doubt I'll ever have another**

Brown Water • 02/23/23 11:50 AM ET
It’s hydration!**
Brewing_Hokie • 02/23/23 12:40 PM ET
I don’t mind Coors and Miller Lite at all. But BL is awful. **
RoswellGAHokie • 02/23/23 12:40 PM ET
That easy, Polar Beer (from Venezuela?)
EDGEMAN • 02/23/23 11:11 AM ET
Not the worst, but I refer to Budweiser as 'recycled PBR.'

Carlings Black Label. That was the beer of our Fraternity back in 1959.
AZHokie59 • 02/23/23 03:48 PM ET
Black label light is another level down. Used to go on sale for <$3 /case**
No Clue • 02/23/23 11:44 AM ET
And still way overpriced**
No_Limit_Hokie • 02/23/23 11:52 AM ET
As I noted in another post, Black Label is an insecticide. Ugh!**
