Had a roommate who was St. Louis everything. Since then, Miller products if I have a choice. Still one of my favorite people, but it has made great fun for us both.
Let’s remember, the best beer is a free, cold, beer.

Prefer the taste of Bud over Miller but if watching my waistline then I prefer Miller Lite over Bud Light. Weird I suppose. In the end, I agree with others as to what band is playing. Also there are lots of other choices for better premium beers out there. Coors Light? Only if its the last thing left.
And, well, since you are Rich, and Rich Miller at that, can there be any other choice but to park yourself in the Miller tent and ask if they have any IAMRICH tee shirts? Get one XXL for you, and one L for Bruce Rauner.
–No snark, Miller Brewing is currently doing a promotion called #IAMRICH–
Those are weird spots. Kind of depressing actually. I don’t get the takeaway.
I much prefer the new “Lite” campaign that ties Lite to your parents hooking up and producing you. Very funny and well done.
Never underestimate the power of good advertising. Miller created the whole light beer category with good advertising put behind a cheap rummy beer called Meister Brau.

I prefer Bud, but have a soft spot for Miller having worked many fairs near the old Miller tent, and I like cheap beer and music in general, so…both?
- elginkevin - Wednesday, Aug 13, 14 @ 2:19 pm:
My brother says people who drink Budweiser usually won’t drink Miller and vice versa. So just go with Coors.

Agree, I wish the Fair had even one of those

Prefer the Bud products, but wife likes Miller. We go to both, but usually the one that has the music we like.
- Ron Burgundy - Wednesday, Aug 13, 14 @ 2:25 pm:
Both are fine, but lean to Bud due to St. Louis area home.
- The Captain - Wednesday, Aug 13, 14 @ 2:25 pm:
On race days they usually have an OTB window at the Bud tent so that tends to win out.
- Sunshine - Wednesday, Aug 13, 14 @ 2:28 pm:
Spent years in both the Miller tent and the Bud tent. Whomever has the best music….DeLuxury, Pork and the Havana Ducks, Jules Blatner, etc. ,

Since I’ll drink a Pepsi anyway, it depends on which band is playing.

They’re pretty much the same beer. I just like Bud commercials better.

What, no free coupons this year?
- Jerome Horwitz - Wednesday, Aug 13, 14 @ 2:57 pm:
I believe that Miller is a pilsner beer and Bud is a lager beer. I prefer lager beer.

I’m hoping there will be a medical marijuana tent next year. It’s far fewer calories.
Just imagine the run on deep fried Snickers bars!

Bud, a lager over a pilsner any day of the week.
- VanillaMan - Wednesday, Aug 13, 14 @ 3:17 pm:
Miller!
St. Louis beer is made with Mississippi water and owned by some stinky outfit out of Belgium called InBev.

Back when I was a kid, my Dad drank “The Champaign of Bottled Beers”. I thought he was ultra-special cause he only drank the best. Miller.

Miller tent. They’ve got more jobs in Illinois. Then off to the couch for some Illinois craft brews.
Though the years long legal battle over whether Bud could legally buy their Chicagoland distributors sure supported some lawyer jobs too.
- Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Aug 13, 14 @ 4:55 pm:
Note to self: stock up on Diet Coke at the Campaign Office.
Big fan of the “Champagne of Beer” of all the Miller products if ranking.
