High Life Hero #8: Eddie Van Halen

Facts:
- Eddie can shred.
- Sammy Hager was, and always will be, a douche.
- The 80's weren't good to anyone, except High Life. All the ridiculous shirts and haircuts in the world don't change the fact that Eddie clearly had/has great taste in beer.

I know what I'll be drinking this weekend.

Milwaukee Champagne Cocktail



10 oz. Champagne of Beers
3 oz. Izze clementine soda
Orange bitters
Orange slice
Mix Champagne of Beers, soda and a dash of bitters. Serve over ice in a pilsner glass and garnish with orange slice.


That looks delicious.

From the looks of it, right here in NYC there's a restaurant called Market Table that serves this beautiful concoction. The Post article where this was listed attributes this being on the menu to the fact that they don't have a liquor license.

They're wrong.

It's because they have common sense.

I'll just leave this here.

High Life Hero #8: The High Life Marketing Staff

Normally in this thread we single out an individual who embodies the High Life. Sometimes those highlighted hold a special place in High Life's past, sometimes they are for a quick laugh. This time we'd like to give an honest shout out to a group that came up with a great idea not just to tell the world how great High Life is, but did something really awesome in the process.

Viewers of the Super Bowl earlier this month were introduced to four small businesses from across the country in this years' Miller High Life commercials.

We'll be doing a post on each of these businesses over the next couple weeks (and if you go to the High Life web site, you can learn more there also) but for now we'd like to give a shout out to the Marketing staff for living the High Life. Normally we can thank them for making us laugh, and reminding us why we champion the Champagne of Beers. This time we can also thank them for what might be the greatest Super Bowl commercial ever. This is why High Life should be America's National Beer (More to come on that soon).

High Life Marketing Staff, we'll be raising one to you ASAP.

For now we've put an image from Miller's site below, but we'll work to get a photo of this post's heroes up there.

High Life Hero #7: Jesus Christ

We didn't know Jesus, but we bet if you threw a party at your place and invited him, he'd bring a 6'er of High Life. Probably even the camo cans. That's just the kind of guy he was.*



*We have no evidence to support this. At all. But you and I both know that evidence has never played a very strong role in religion, so just go with it.

Sometimes it does a man good to do the shopping...

Your Friday Fix. Too great to try to describe.

The Best Haircut Ever

I often get a haircut and feel like a part of my soul is missing.
Maybe I miss the the friendly banter of the barbershops of my youth. Maybe I miss being able to get a haircut for under $10. Maybe I miss having more hair on my head than my back...oh wait..never mind.

If only I lived in the now-mecca of Portland, Oregon. Because in Portland I could get the Best Haircut Ever. The visionaries are called Bishop's Barbershop, and every haircut you get is guaranteed to be the best you've ever had.

Check out the front page of their website where it says:

"choose from an a-la-carte menu of services that includes style, shampoo, blow dry, a variety of cut and color options, or even a hot towel shave, and a free bottle of cold Miller High Life is offered to those who are 21 and older."

Now you may say "I love High Life, but how does that guarantee a great haircut?" Well, I am a big fan of logic, so let me break this down for you:

A. High Life is the greatest beer ever.
B. Drinking High Life means you are living the High Life.
C. Living the High Life is the greatest time you will ever have.
D. Bishop's gives you a free High Life with your haircut.
E. Therefore a haircut at Bishop's will be the greatest haircut you will ever have.

That's High Life logic.

"But I live all the way over here in Delaware" you say? Well first of all: move immediately. But if you must live there, you are in luck. This article announces that Bishop's is looking to expand to the East Coast. Hopefully these places will pop up like Starbucks before long.

Go Meat!

In a word: Astonishing.

Consider this post part 1 of 2. The second will come once we've tried these. I can even give you an idea of what we'll say in the next post - "WOWOWOWOW - this is the greatest thing ever. Delicious. Incredible." You get the idea.

It's pretty safe to say that the good folks at Hillshire Farms are living the High Life. A brat with High Life built in is a fantastic idea. I've found myself eating a brat and thinking, "Damn, I could go for a High Life" dozens of times. But that's just one of many situations in which I've found myself wanting a High Life. Here's some others that will hopefully inspire solutions:

- At work
- Long car rides
- At a crap '$10 a beer' bar
- At a Yankee games
- On the beach in NY/NJ
- In the shower

There's countless more, and many of these I've come up with temporary workarounds for, but nothing that could be called a solution.


Big thanks to Joe Noodles for the tip on this one.

Otherwise...NO salad

One of our all-time favorites (all right...who are we kidding? they all are. still...)

Time For a Happy Hour

No unintentional overtime here...enjoy the weekend folks.
