Consumer Response Center at 1-800-MILLER 6.

Haven't been able to find a direct email address on their site...they make you go through that lame "question" series before you can email them and then you have to give them too much info. maybe someone else can help find a good emai address.

My boycott has been in effect for 25 years. Fosters was good when it was brewed in Australia. Otherwise Miller Beer Sucks!!!

Looks like it is true.

SABMiller owns all the "miller" brands, Pilsner Urquell and others.

Damn!

I hadn't realized that they acquired these brands.

Boycott for one of the biggest beer drinking weekends of the year! I will proudly take my business elsewhere.

LOL. I just checked La Raza's website. Busch is listed under La Raza's corporate partners list. Coors is there as well. Now what?

If the Founding Fathers could-and did-pledge their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor, then the very least we can do is give up some lousy beer. If we are not willing to give up a lot more than that, let's just forget the whole thing.

Try this:

Click the Miller link in the thread and go to "ASK MILLER" and click that. You'll have to fill in your info because their 'pat' answers are not for a real complaint. The other "comment" window at the bottom may contain only part of your original comment up top, so check it out and add what is missing.

Rolling Rock is starting to once again sound good.

Well, I've sent my complaint and now I'm looking for another cheap beer. No Miller. No Busch. No Coors.

Please -- somebody tell me that Pabst is not on the boycott list too. Not that I have to buy Pabst, but that "Red necks, white socks and Blue Ribbon Beer" song will never be the same if they are.

Miller Lite gives me a headache. I can drink High Life, but won't, but Pilsner Urquell? Now that really hurts: my favorite blonde.

Uh, going to be hard to boycott. None of mine are on their list. But I guess that makes my boycott 100% effective.

Do they actually brew Pilsener Urquell, or just import it?

BTW--if you like PU (ha ha), you'll love Stella Artois.

"Here are the products in the Miller line you may want to avoid..."

After looking through that list, I see I can't boycott them for this cause; I'm already boycotting them on grounds of flavor and quality.
