I'm going there Monday. Anybody been? Was it awesome? Tell me it was awesome.

Miller High Life isn't the Champagne of Beers--Champagne is the Miller High Life of sparkling wines.

I rarely if ever drink but when I do I prefer Miller products


was a big fan of MGD back in the day


and my first beer ever was a miller high life pony given to me by my brother in the parking lot of Bon Marche Mall before he took me to see my first r rated movie....being in Louisiana and all of course I was only 12

I've been on the Miller Brewery tour once. Pretty cool place. The packaging line is quite impressive. Get there early as the tours fill up fast.

If you have time, I highly recommend touring Lakefront Brewery in Milwaukee. Best brewery tour I've been on. I think you need to call ahead for that one.

Lakefront brewery does a fish fry on Friday or Saturday night...or both. I had a great time there. The fish fry was fun..tons of women. Milwaukee broads ain't half bad either.

The miller brewery was fun too. I don't remember much though..I was drunk when I got there and way past gone when I left.

Read about the history of it. In the late 1800's they had an accident at the facility, the streets around it were 3-4 feet deep in beer.

The Graceland of Beers? About right, peaked in the '50's.

You'll be impressed by the enormity of the site, as it's called Miller Valley for a reason. Great history there and it's the only big brewery left after Schlitz, Blatz and Pabst are gone (all fantastic beers back in the day before the recipes were changed, according to the locals).

I agree with the Lakefront Brewery tour, but without researching, I think they only give tours on Saturdays. Check out their beer, Sprecher, Capital City, and New Glarus which are all WI brews. Noteworthy beer that is not available in LA that you can purchase in Milwaukee is Goose Island (Chicago) and Bell's Beer (Kalamazoo).

Say hi to Laverne and Shirley while you're there.
