Most recently I have been educated by my friend Leslie, the ways of the High Life. Based on the photo above you may have already come to realize that this has some thing to do with drinking the 'Champagne of Beers'. As well it seems that this blog focuses on beer. So naturally I would be writing about beer and the finer points of drinking it.
I had been informed of the value of Miller High Life in the past by Leslie, but had never actually seen the light until recently, when I was going to meet him at his house for an evening with he and Lulu. I was instructed to pick up some 'cold' beverages. I stopped at Cala/Bell/DeLano's to pick up some value based beer. As I scanned the beer section for the best taste/cost/quantity beer option I was drawn to the 32oz. bottles of Miller High Life. At the moment I saw the bottles on the shelf it was clear that there is not a better value out there(as I had been informed of months earlier by Leslie, only to realize it myself at that very moment).
When I arrived at the house Leslie began to educate me further. . . . One needs to do more than just purchase the beverage and drink it, it needs to be prepped properly. I don't mean opening it and letting it breathe or pouring it into some sort of crystal decanter. No, simply place the 32ozs of fluid gold into the freezer for about 10 minutes or until you get just a tiny bit of ice beginning to form in the bottle. Now you can enjoy directly from the bottle with paper bag coozie of course, or as we did on that night pour into pint glasses and place bottle back into freezer until the next pour.
The sweetness can hardly be described, one must enjoy this on their own. It's best to enjoy on a Friday evening after working in a "The Office" type of environment for an entire week.
Thanks Leslie. Enjoy.

Sad to see that you and Leslie have cheated on the red white and blue of beers. Sad day indeed. I propose a "taste-off" which could be good fodder for your blog.
Umm, no disrespect to the King of Beers. I too enjoy its complex, yet simple magic, but... have you seen a 32 oz Bud lately? Not likely -- although, they do exist.
Since we are on that topic, actually, Bud is typically enjoyed most in 12 oz cans. Yes, cans -- frosty cold. In this format...they can be "crushed" effortlessly, which is why they are enjoyed the world over.
I agree whole heartedly, Lee. This post was written with all due respect to the best gift Mr. busch has left for us. I think that a ""taste off"" is a fine plan. Check back to see the results

Les told me you had a blog and I'm pleasantly surprised to see Lulu's first, but undoubtably last, mention in the blogospere. Also, HighLife was always my beer of choice for daytime partying outdoors, like tubing, fishing, camping, etc.
