Miller - and I’m not trying to suck up.
Comment by Bogey Golfer Wednesday, Aug 13, 14 @ 2:16 pm
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.

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?
Comment by Anonymoiis 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

Plus, you might be the only Miller in the Bud tent.

My Beechwood aging is going well. Bud tent.

Prefer the Bud products, but wife likes Miller. We go to both, but usually the one that has the music we like.
Comment by Finally Out (formerly Ready to Get Out) Wednesday, Aug 13, 14 @ 2:24 pm
Both are fine, but lean to Bud due to St. Louis area home.
Comment by Ron Burgundy 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.
Comment by The Captain Wednesday, Aug 13, 14 @ 2:25 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.
Comment by RNUG Wednesday, Aug 13, 14 @ 2:29 pm
Less filling and tastes great! For those who remember.

More research is necessary before I can make my findings public.

Bud tent. SUPPORT THE VETS
Comment by buffalo soldier Wednesday, Aug 13, 14 @ 2:39 pm
Whichever I can get to first.

Bud tent.
They’re pretty much the same beer. I just like Bud commercials better.
Comment by Bunson8r Wednesday, Aug 13, 14 @ 2:41 pm
What, no free coupons this year?
Comment by walker Wednesday, Aug 13, 14 @ 2:56 pm
I believe that Miller is a pilsner beer and Bud is a lager beer. I prefer lager beer.

New Glarus tent - the fair is short on Spotted Cows.
Comment by Modest proposal Wednesday, Aug 13, 14 @ 2:58 pm
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!
Comment by ad rock Wednesday, Aug 13, 14 @ 3:00 pm
Bud, a lager over a pilsner any day of the week.
Comment by No Longer A Lurker Wednesday, Aug 13, 14 @ 3:00 pm
Miller!
St. Louis beer is made with Mississippi water and owned by some stinky outfit out of Belgium called InBev.

miller,( back in the day you could see the mouse inside)
Comment by Anonymous Wednesday, Aug 13, 14 @ 3:19 pm
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.

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.

BUD NATION! JUNIOOOOOOOOR!
Comment by CommoNooB Wednesday, Aug 13, 14 @ 3:53 pm
When you say Bud you said it all. (Just depends on what you want to say.)
Comment by Anonymous Wednesday, Aug 13, 14 @ 3:58 pm
Bud Tent.
Comment by Slapshot Wednesday, Aug 13, 14 @ 4:08 pm
Miller. Not even close.
Comment by The Dark Horse Wednesday, Aug 13, 14 @ 4:15 pm
I don’t know this Bud guy. Glad Rich has a tent, where is it?
Comment by Norseman Wednesday, Aug 13, 14 @ 4:15 pm
Yes that was snark.
I’m with RNUG.

Wherever you can get a Diet Coke.

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.
Comment by Chicago Bars Wednesday, Aug 13, 14 @ 4:53 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.
Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Aug 13, 14 @ 4:55 pm
Which is free? That one.
Comment by Big Muddy Wednesday, Aug 13, 14 @ 4:58 pm
No snark, Miller Brewing is currently doing a promotion called #IAMRICH.
http://www.youtube.com/millerhighlife
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.

I know the medical marijuana program is starting to roll out in Illinois but I didn’t know they had a tent at the State Fair already.

–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.

Is there a wine tent?

Wine…..not whine!

The bud tent especially on harness race days the ticket seller there for the horse races is just the nicest guy you will ever meet!
