Molson Coors, best known for brewing Coors Light and Miller Lite, is acquiring Blue Run Spirits, a cult favorite high-end bourbon and rye whiskey brand, for an undisclosed price, exclusively told to CNN. It’s part of the company’s pivot to becoming a broader beverage company focusing on drinks beyond beer, especially since US spirit sales surpassed beer sales last year for the first time ever. Blue Run is a Kentucky-based startup that makes premium bourbon whiskeys with prices ranging from $100 to $250 for a bottle. Five people came together that have a “common love” for bourbon and created the...

MillerCoors’ ad in the official program guide of the vile and anti-Christian Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco. Would Miller advertise at an Incest Rights gathering, or proudly sell beer at a Neo-Nazi rally? AFTAH letter sent today to MillerCoors spokesman Julian Green [contact Green at green.julian@mbco.com or phone: 1-800-MILLER-6 or 414-931-2000.]: Dear Mr. Green, We are highlighting MillerCoor’s support of and advertising at the Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco [to be held Sunday, September 28]. I am president of a conservative pro-family group, Americans For Truth (www.aftah.org). The Folsom Street Fair is probably the most extreme and debauched...

The sadism-celebrating Folsom Street Fair, to be held in San Francisco this weekend, lists the Catholic-mocking “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” as a “Major Beneficiary” of the event. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence [Warning: very offensive content] is a band of homosexual drag queens who dress up as gaudy “nuns,” with each adopting a perverted or mocking names such as: Sister Porn Again; Sister Chastity Boner; Sister Sister Edith Myflesh; Sister Roz Erection; Sister Constance Craving of the Holey Desire; and Sister Risqué of the Sissytine Chapel. “The Sisters” is a 501(c)3 tax-deductible non-profit charity recognized by the IRS (this designation...

Miller Lite has apologized for its history of advertisements featuring women in bikinis with a woke commercial. In the one minute and 30 second spot posted online, comedian Ilana Glazer says 'It's time beer made it up for women,' as she touted women's role in the brewing process — going all the way back to early civilization. She explained in the commercial that Miller Lite created a campaign for Women's History Month in March to buy up old marketing materials to turn them into compost, which could be used to make fertilizer. That fertilizer would then be donated to female...

Miller Lite, much like Bud Light, is showing that they have absolutely no clue who their audience is either. This latest woke ad from Miller is so exceptionally cringy it's tough to watch: [Slightly sexual content and language] AD VIDEO AT LINK................ YAY! Girl power! That's how you sell beer! The ad, which released two months ago but is only now resurfacing after Bud Light's Dylan Mulvaney debacle, is all about female empowerment and the idea that brewing started with women. But, ironically, they use a vulgar woman who acts like a vulgar man as the selling point. In the...

Miller Lite announced this week that it is releasing a limited line of candles, which it is calling “Bar Smells.” This is, obviously, because each one smells like a different type of bar that is special in its own way. There are three scents to choose from including Dive Bar, Game Day Bar and Beer Garden. The first smells like Musk, Tobacco, Pine, and Yeast, which certainly sounds better than the smell of my fave dives, but will have to do! Game Day Bar smells fittingly like Salted Peanut, Jalapeno, and Cracked Leather, and is perfect for the start of...

Windell Middlebrooks, who co-starred on Body Of Proof and played a diligent delivery guy in a series of ads for Miller High Life, died today at his home in Los Angeles. He was 36. No cause of death has been reported. “It was Windell’s biggest wish that his final scene not be lived on social media,” his family said in a statement confirming the actor’s death. “Further details will be forthcoming once the family members plans have been finalized.”

A drunken man who was stopped by police handed the officer a Miller Lite when asked for his license, police said. Prosecutors said the behavior by Omar Medina, 26, isn't surprising. They said he habitually drives without his license and this is his fourth arrest for an alcohol-related driving offense investigation. He's been charged with felony DUI. --snip-- "I asked him for his driver's license and he handed me the can of Miller Lite," Lorette wrote. Lorette eventually gave his identification card, and once he was put in handcuffs police said he was upset. "Omar became combative and said he...

The Miller Lite people have a new ad featuring beer drinkers being instructed by a pro-sports-type commissioner in etiquette for the "More Taste League." But the entity needing a "More Taste" lesson is the Miller Brewing Co. itself. Last year, Miller infuriated opponents of illegal immigration when the Chicago Tribune reported it paid $30,000 for a convention and newspaper ads publicizing a march of illegal-alien advocates to protest against Speaker Dennis Hastert's congressional office in Batavia, Ill. Consumers launched a national boycott. Apparently, Miller learned nothing. What the brewing giant has now done is far more offensive. Now, Miller has...

WEST ALLIS, Wis. — President Bush, ignoring press derision of Zell Miller, yesterday began invoking him on the campaign trail, which brought raucous applause from voters who share the fiery Georgian's opposition to fellow Democratic Sen. John Kerry.     "Zell Miller of Georgia, he's a discerning Democrat," Mr. Bush told a rally in Moosic, Pa., his first stop after accepting the party's nomination Thursday. The audience of 8,000 exploded in cheers.     The reaction was even more dramatic at the president's next stop here, where the crowd of 20,000 made more noise than any other gathering the president has addressed during the...
