“Bottle of High Life?”

That’s what the bartender at Landmark Lanes says every time I (Matt) approach the bar. I’ve been going to the Landmark for 8,000 years, and they know that I drink Miller High Life. It’s a nice feeling, isn’t it, having a place that knows your drink?

“High Life?”

That’s what the bartender at Promises says every time I (Matt) approach the bar. I’ve been going to Promises ever since they opened in 2022, and they know that I drink Miller High Life. It’s a nice feeling, isn’t it, having another place that knows your drink?

Anyway, High Life has weirdly—but deservedly!—been in the spotlight lately. On Tuesday’s episode of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, during a segment on battleground states, Vice President Kamala Harris took a sip from a can of High Life—AND correctly referred to it as the Champagne of Beers. “It tastes like the beautiful city of Milwaukee,” said Colbert, who knows a thing or two about sucking up to our city.

And then there are The Real Housewives Of [checks Wikipedia] Salt Lake City? They’re doing Salt Lake City now? Lol. Anyway, on Tuesday’s episode of the Bravo reality show the ladies were kicking it in the Miller Caves and enjoying some pours of High Life. “I had no clue that there is, like, an upscale beer!” one of the ladies said. They don’t call it the Champagne of Beers for nothing!

So there you go. High Life rules. And shout-out to all the Morlocks in the comments, who always get extremely triggered by Stephen Colbert and who may literally explode at the sight of Colbert and Kamala Harris.

Also, R.I.P. Windell Middlebrooks. These commercials were the best.
