Gobble Gobble

With the ultimate family beer-drinking holiday upon us, this week's installation of King Morris' treasures was made specifically for Thanksgiving...and we'd like to give thanks for the High Life. Enjoy.

Best. Bar. Ever.

The High Life Lounge in Des Moines, Iowa could be the greatest bar of all time. I can safely say that, and I've never even been there. I'll let the bar's own website explain why:

"As the name implies, the star of the show is a certain brand of beer and everything that it embodies. Miller High Life was a culture of its own in the 60’s and 70’s and its allure lives on today. The “Champagne of Beers” outsells two-to-one the next popular beer at the High Life Lounge."

I'm not making this up! A place this awesome really exists! I found it by searching "High Life" on Twitter one afternoon and haven't felt the same about my local watering holes ever since.

In addition to selling the crap out of some High Life, these guys also have a 'High Life Man' burger, which includes a beef patty, Italian sausage and bacon. That burger is all about living the High Life. It's only missing the big dollop of butter.

We're going. I can't say when, but we are. We'll take photos. It'll be incredible.

Even THIS Guy Has Some Common Sense...

Some chuckle-worthy news out of Golden Colorado, where a man came home to find an intruder had parked in his garage, was wearing his boxers, and tried to kick the actual homeowner out of the house - the intruder actually believing himself to be the owner.

Best part of the story:

"Police say he had spent most of the day at the residence, showered, did his laundry and even put a few of his own items in the refrigerator, including a six-pack of Miller High Life, according to authorities. They say three of the beers were missing and one was open and partially consumed.

Check out the full article here.

We're confident that the High Life he consumed was the only thing that kept this guy from going loco - proving that even the craziest folks can gain a bit of common sense from the greatest beer ever produced.

Something's not quite right...

The classic Errol Morris commercials are back.

We thought after the break we'd share one of our all-time favorites (well they all kind of qualify...). Like most humans, we're constantly in search for the world's best burger. The recipe you see in the ad below is surely a part of whichever grilled-patty turns out to be this holy grail. Enjoy.

High Life gets Wild

I recently came across this article. The article details a partnership between High Life and a group called Pheasants Forever, which is dedicated to protecting wildlife habitats and promoting responsible "recreation" (code word for pheasant hunting - which we are all for, but might argue with the terminology). There are many reasons I support this partnership:

1. The awesome special High Life cans.



2. The awesome quote that was in the article:
“A great day pheasant hunting followed up by a Miller High Life just goes together” -Chris Gotziaman, Field Marketing Manager with MillerCoors

3. The article was reported on a website called ammoland.com, and we just love idea that there is in fact an entire Land full of Ammo. The site name is in huge letters at the top of the screen, which is getting me some strange looks in my office (unfortunately we have yet to be offered jobs by Miller).

4. The article uses the word "purveyors" which I consider to be the act of a smug journalist rather than someone living the High Life.

So go forth. Buy the special High Life cans if you have the chance, and support the High Life for the pheasants.

High Life Hero #5: Troy Dugas

Troy Dugas is an artist. Not some kind of pansy who colors by number. Troy Dugas uses product labels arranged in patterns to rock our collective world. Troy Dugas lives the High Life.

You may be saying to yourself "Self, how can we be so sure that Troy actually lives the High Life?" We know because he made a mural out of the most amazing label that ever existed. Check it out:



Not convinced those are actually High Life Labels? Here's the detail view:



Those chameleon coors light labels can't do THAT.
