Ghosts of Miller Past
Miller The Miller name stood alone for three years, ranging from 1996-1998, emblazoned boldly on a red label surface, earning the popular, albeit unofficial, “Miller Red” distinction. Miller featured a new look taste and recipe, a darker beer than the rest of the company’s products intended for mainstream consumption. Critically, Miller Red was celebrated among mass-produced lager competition, though commercially the financial windfall fell far short of expectations.Miller Gold Not just a talent agency on HBO‘s hit series Entourage, Miller Gold was actually the banner of a limited edition release of Miller Genuine Draft formulated with increased alcohol levels (5.7 ABV).Miller Lite Ice Like former greats Elvis Presley and Tupac Shakur, Miller Lite Ice is still spotted on occasion, but only in a very small selection of markets within the state of Michigan. Miller Lite Ice boasted a higher alcohol content than many of Miller’s other brands (5.5 ABV), as all “ice beers” have, a natural result of the fractional freezing process.Miller 1855 Celebration Lager Commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Miller Brewing Company, this high end lager was made available in 2005, though all celebrations must come to an end, with this specialty item not staying on store shelves for long.
