  • Both rated at 4.6% alcohol. High Life introduced in 1855. Genuine Draft introduced in 1985. SABMiller brands.
    "Miller High Life, the "champagne of beers," dates to 1903. A classic American style lager, Miller High Life is known for its consistently crisp, smooth taste and iconic clear-glass bottle. Miller High Life embraces its rich heritage and is known by its drinkers as an authentic, unpretentious beer. It's common sense in a bottle. Ingredients: Water, Barley Malt, Corn Syrup (Maltose), Yeast, Hop Extract."
    "Miller Genuine Draft delivers a fresh from the tap taste through its proprietary "cold-filtered four times" brewing process. Introduced nationally in 1986, Miller Genuine Draft was born as the original cold-filtered packaged draft beer. Today, Miller Genuine Draft is reinforcing its status as the best draft beer in a bottle. Ingredients: Water, Barley Malt, Corn Syrup (Maltose), Yeast, Hops and Hop Extract."

    Good video Ron! I like both on their own, have yet to try them side by side. I appreciate how you touch on the history of these standard beers, which I've started circling back to after a few years of craft beer snobbery. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy a good IPA or imperial stout, but there's just something so comforting about these yellow fizzies. Cheers!

    Over the years I have drank many different beers. First time having a Miller Genuine Draft was at a Hooters bar with some friends. Never had High Life though. After trying Genuine Draft, I loved how fresh it was. It was just different from other bottled beers I’ve had. Hard to beat a fresh keg ice cold beer on tap but, in my opinion, MGD seems to bring me that experience in a bottle! Great taste and you can’t have just a couple haha. Great video! 👍🏼

    High life out of a bottle is great. Not much of a mgd fan but only drank it out of cans. In comparison I don't drink miller lite from cans but prefer it on tap. I'm an original coors yellow belly fan too of course. Wish I could taste test brews at 9am lol. Thanks bud for the great reviews and always commenting back.

    • @ronaldtheriot

    Hey Ron I know in a previous post I'd noted I try to stick with Miller Lite but I picked up 24 High Life while in Michigan last week and it's excellent IMO. It was 6.99 per 12 bottles. Unfortunately , High Life hasn't been available in Canada for a number of years though I'm hopeful they bring it back given the recent "re-launch" of Lite up here.

    • @ronaldtheriot

    Hey Ronald, subbed to your channel just today and wanted to say that I'm from MN and do see Golden Draft quite a bit but was surprised when you said the light version was the most popular beer in Minneapolis (thought it would be maybe Bud Light). Also wanted to ask what brought you to the Land of Ten Thousand Lakes?

    • @ronaldtheriot
      @ronaldtheriot  5 років тому +2

      Well, it was very popular, eight years ago, when I was in Minneapolis. Of course, things can change. I went there, to see the Twins (2 times at the Metrodome and 1 time at Target Field). Thanks for watching, Cobra! I appreciate your support!

    two of my first beers!. No wonder Theyre my favorite "cheap" american domestics. I will love miller for life. My peers growing up always drank coors light and hated bud, i was raised on bud since my old mans latino theres a large following of bud behind the latino camp. To me though Miller has my heart, one of my uncles drank mgd, and another was fond of highlife. MGD and high life are my favorite domestic big name brews, samuel adams is my favorite domestic mass producer. 10.99 for 20 glass bottles on sale a good buy any day of the week. I still get 2x32 oz highlife's if i know im out of beer, and i got 5$ on me; bc 711 sells 2x for 4$ where i live, a good time spent gamin or watching some sports. ON draft, when "domestic" is on the cheap its one of the best you can get, i will always swear by highlife and MGD on draft, compared to banquet/coorslight, weiser/budlight or any at that price point. Which is why I will always honor Samuel Adams if your local joint honors it as a domestic for happy hour etc thats a shout out to Lefty O'douls and BWW(which also has miller on tap).

    Miller high life is one of my favorite beers, but I'm so use to King Cobra that it feels like very light beer at 4.6% abv. It was a great price $9 for a 12 pack glass 12oz bottles up in Massachusetts.

    • @ronaldtheriot

      @thecigarfascination6652 4 роки тому

      Matt Jones MA has the tax but some of the beer prices I found were still ok. and u can pick cans and make up the difference where NH doesnt have the 5 cent deposit. and people litter a LOT of them too and at games people consume a lot so if u pick the trash.. u can get a lot. It might be a blue state, but if u drink beer.. u can live in Mass. see I picked the cans in dumpsters so i made it up and put it toward the beer I bought.

    It would be interesting to see if even a Miller Brew Master could consistently tell the difference in taste tests between these two. I think they're both great beers but typically choose High Life for the discount. Where I buy beer in the States, it's $10.79 for 15 MGD bottles and $9.99 for 18 High Life bottles.- seems like sound "Beer Math" to me!

      MGD has the edge as its consistent. MHL some tastes like MGD but some tastes worse too. It depends on the batch but MGD tends to be consistent. Is MHL bad though? no. I just like MGD more as its consistent. but I get MHL if I dont want to spend as much.

I'm doing a high life vs MGD taste test right now as I watch your video again. I cannot taste the difference between them but think they both taste great. I was hoping you could do this comparison again but this time add Milwaukee's Best. That way you'd have the super discount, discount and regular priced brands from the same brewer. Thanks

    Hiya Ron, and cheers!! I`ve always wondered why I felt so horrible the next day after drinking MGD. It gave me the WORST headaches, and stomach problems the day after. It`s been many years since I`ve had a Miller High Life, or the draft version. I`m still drinking budget beer, since craft beer just isn`t affordable for me anymore.
    Funny story for you, the other day, I noticed I still had some Sam Adams Boston Lager in the fridge, with a good freshness date on it. Well, after drinking Coors Banquet for almost a month now, I popped open my Sam Adams Lager. It was like my taste buds went into shock!! lol.
    That being said, I`m looking for a rotation beer for the Coors Banquet that I have liked for a while now.
    I`m wondering if Miller High Life would be a decent rotation beer to go to? It`s been way to long since I`ve had a Miller High Life. However, I don`t recall being put off by it. Anyways, have a great weekend Ron!!

    Hey Ron "the riot"....saw MGD here and picked some up today. It has been years since I have seen this beer. I had bad memories as the one time I drank it ended up getting sick. Made me think something about the filtering did not actually equate to pasteurization....anyway as a lover of High Life, I decided it was time to revisit. My impression is MGD is much smoother with noticeable bittering vs High Life. Also HL has always had the most pronounced "corny" flavor of any adjunct lager around. Part of what makes it High Life, but that corny flavor is much more subdued in Genuine Draft. Back in the early 1990s MGD was a top dog seller and commanded a premium price point. Which makes me have to ask, did you ever try Miller "Colders" a very short lived early 90s beer? Drank a fair bit of it in summer of 92 in Baton Rouge, a budget line that was similar to extra gold lager....AJ

      Tomas A. Molina I was not aware of that one. But, apparently, none of those were true draft beer, because none of the brands stepped up to challenge Miller on it, and, in fact, they all just quickly faded away, in the face of MGD or with beers, like Piels, changed the labels to read "Draft-style beer" or "with that draft taste".

Has the more regular taste, like the exact Bud rival. High Life kinda has been put in the underclass like Pabst.
