    Does any one remember a beer we called Miller Red from the early-mid 90's.It was miller in a brown bottle and a red label,thus Miller Red.From what I recall it had a bit more color and a bit more depth of flavor.I mention it to people nowadays and I get a blank look.

    Whenever I want just a plain ole beer I buy Miller High Life.Nothing fancy just a beer.

    I looked up Miller Red after my posting.It was around a few years in the 90's as Miller's premium lager and had good reviews.Which was kind of odd as Miller is a pilsener beer.

    Maybe, I live in Ohio and a local tavern stocks it in their drive thru. They have the nut brown, the taddy porter and the oatmeal stout in the drive through.
    The have a bigger selection at the bar. Samuel Smiths even makes a strawberry something, but I don't care for berry flavored beer so I've never tried it.

    I know right. I've decided I really prefer Irish or British dark beers.
    On draft would be awesome.

    A recent trip to Fort Bragg (North Coast Brewing Co.) provided ample opportunity to try this lovely stout. My new favorite....

    Chimay is insanely good. My father who I would never call a connoisseur of anything, may he RIP, took a taste of one when he was visiting several summers ago and immediately said "Oh, now that's a really good beer!" I love it. My favorite. The Grande Reserve, blue label, at 9%, is still the smoothest of the the three I've tried (Blue, Red and Cinq)

    I've only ever tried the Blue, but have heard the same.

    My first choice is Guinness, but the Canadian version, oh so much better.

    Hey, theres nothing wrong with High Life! LOL A friend of mine is a craft beer snob and I recently turned him onto High Life. He said his uncle always drank it when he was a kid and we was amazed at how drinkable it is.
