Taste Challenge: Miller High Life vs. Miller Genuine Draft

[@randytolen9531]

It's been many (many) years since I've tried a Miller High Life, I have a 24 ouncer in my fridge after watching your great reviews. I do enjoy Miller Lite (the light profile seems to fit me better). Just yesterday saw a 12 pack of Miller High Life bottles for $7.49. Every time I see those bottles I think of a bowling alley! Always enjoy your reviews.

[@ronaldtheriot]

Thanks, Randy, and I ought to revisit High Life and Genuine Draft, sooner than later.

[@Theskybluelake]

Been drinkin' Miller Genuine Draft for over 34 years... Love the taste

[@ronaldtheriot]

It's a good beer, Theskybluelake. I am just sorry that it seems to be dying out. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it!

[@DeepFrydTurd]

Yes sir it's good stuff

[@OneHunnitNoCapStannitOnBidnisz]

Never liked it!

[@_themanofsteele]

Always been my favorite too! It’s readily available in TN. 🙏🏼

[@harambeskawk9000]

Give high life some points though for hoppy note, drinkability and a cooler label and bottle style.

[@mapexmurderer7249]

I swear Jay no matter what beer it is, or how you're reviewing it, you make a beer seem damn delicious and fair and refreshing. You make a regular man crave a cold one outta the fridge after dealing with the bullshit of the day and give us good company while doing it. 🍻

[@ronaldtheriot]

I'm glad you like my reviews, MM. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it!

[@NapBoney]

Cool video. Two of my favorites when it comes to American beer. I'd say I prefer MGD slightly more, but High Life is good too. Two great beers from Milwaukee!

[@ronaldtheriot]

Miller high life is my go to beer. Good value, refreshing, nice light lager taste. 12Pack at Walmart is usually $8.99 Liquors stores 9.99 to 12.99

[@ronaldtheriot]

It's one of my "standby" beers, for sure.

[@geoffolehane]

My late Mother's favorite beer was Miller Genuine Draft. The first beer I drank I ever drank in 1978 ()not counting sips from my Dad's bottle) was Miller High Life.

[@ronaldtheriot]

Jeffrey Lyons Ah, yes. I remember you telling me that, Jeff. I also remember you telling me that, about Miller High Life.

[@jhpvids]

i just wish MGD was in 12 packs or 24 packs in the Mobile area.

[@geoffolehane]

MGD is mostly sold in 18 pack cans in my area. Some stores have 6 pack cans. I haven't seen it in bottles in ages.

[@ronaldtheriot]

And, down here, it's mostly bottles!

[@cs1992]

The discussions of vintage American brews never get old. Thanks!

[@ronaldtheriot]

cs1992 You're welcome. People make fun of me, sometimes, and will ask if I ever get tired of looking at American vintage brews, but I would say, "No, I really do not get tired of it."

[@terrencelabroix5272]

Hey Ron I know in a previous post I'd noted I try to stick with Miller Lite but I picked up 24 High Life while in Michigan last week and it's excellent IMO. It was 6.99 per 12 bottles. Unfortunately , High Life hasn't been available in Canada for a number of years though I'm hopeful they bring it back given the recent "re-launch" of Lite up here.

[@ronaldtheriot]

I sure do wish you could get High Life in Canada, Terrance. It is ubiquitous, here, in the empire, I mean, the states.

[@anhiirr]

two of my first beers!. No wonder Theyre my favorite "cheap" american domestics. I will love miller for life. My peers growing up always drank coors light and hated bud, i was raised on bud since my old mans latino theres a large following of bud behind the latino camp. To me though Miller has my heart, one of my uncles drank mgd, and another was fond of highlife. MGD and high life are my favorite domestic big name brews, samuel adams is my favorite domestic mass producer. 10.99 for 20 glass bottles on sale a good buy any day of the week. I still get 2x32 oz highlife's if i know im out of beer, and i got 5$ on me; bc 711 sells 2x for 4$ where i live, a good time spent gamin or watching some sports. ON draft, when "domestic" is on the cheap its one of the best you can get, i will always swear by highlife and MGD on draft, compared to banquet/coorslight, weiser/budlight or any at that price point. Which is why I will always honor Samuel Adams if your local joint honors it as a domestic for happy hour etc thats a shout out to Lefty O'douls and BWW(which also has miller on tap).

[@ronaldtheriot]

Very interesting comments. Also, what do you think about Milwaukee's Best beers?

[@gussantos4160]

MGD has been my beer for a long time. Miller Lite is my flavor when working around the house. Samuel Adams is my favorite when I’m chilling watching sports. Great taste on brew my friend. Cheers! 🤙🏽🍺

[@terrencelabroix5272]

It would be interesting to see if even a Miller Brew Master could consistently tell the difference in taste tests between these two. I think they're both great beers but typically choose High Life for the discount. Where I buy beer in the States, it's $10.79 for 15 MGD bottles and $9.99 for 18 High Life bottles.- seems like sound "Beer Math" to me!

[@ronaldtheriot]

Yeah- beer math! Ha-ha!

[@thecigarfascination6652]

MGD has the edge as its consistent. MHL some tastes like MGD but some tastes worse too. It depends on the batch but MGD tends to be consistent. Is MHL bad though? no. I just like MGD more as its consistent. but I get MHL if I dont want to spend as much.

[@cliffcurrier6342]

Your house brand observation is correct, it also applies to most in the Sierra Nevada family of beers to me

[@ronaldtheriot]

Ah, yes, it's definitely true for them.

[@burlyboybeerreviews7854]

[@mattjones5140]

Miller high life is one of my favorite beers, but I'm so use to King Cobra that it feels like very light beer at 4.6% abv. It was a great price $9 for a 12 pack glass 12oz bottles up in Massachusetts.

[@ronaldtheriot]

+Matt Jones That's a pretty good price, but it is about $7.49 for a 12-er, down here, MJ.

[@thecigarfascination6652]

Matt Jones MA has the tax but some of the beer prices I found were still ok. and u can pick cans and make up the difference where NH doesnt have the 5 cent deposit. and people litter a LOT of them too and at games people consume a lot so if u pick the trash.. u can get a lot. It might be a blue state, but if u drink beer.. u can live in Mass. see I picked the cans in dumpsters so i made it up and put it toward the beer I bought.

[@OneHunnitNoCapStannitOnBidnisz]

Damn you're used to King Cobra? Lmao never heard that one before !

[@HPad2]

I do prefer the Genuine draft, but the high life is so much cheaper here. I have still yet to try Miller 64 but it does not seem like its worth the price.

[@ronaldtheriot]

+Hunter Yelton No, the 64 is just dull to the max.

THEY SAW YOU COMING! lol

[@Ajfjdk]

Over the years I have drank many different beers. First time having a Miller Genuine Draft was at a Hooters bar with some friends. Never had High Life though. After trying Genuine Draft, I loved how fresh it was. It was just different from other bottled beers I’ve had. Hard to beat a fresh keg ice cold beer on tap but, in my opinion, MGD seems to bring me that experience in a bottle! Great taste and you can’t have just a couple haha. Great video! 👍🏼

[@ronaldtheriot]

Thanks, and I love MGD. I wish it was still sold in my parish. Thanks for watching, K.O. Storm. I appreciate it!

[@Ajfjdk]

Ronald Theriot Absolutely! 🍻

[@ChicagoTechGuy]

Ronald just curious, any go to beer you prefer? What kind of beers do you enjoy (I know, loaded question). Just curious is all

[@ronaldtheriot]

Well, Larseus, it's usually things like Natural Ice, which are good, in my opinion, and cheap.

[@ChicagoTechGuy]

@@ronaldtheriot Thanks Ronald, I don't think I have had Natural Ice, I will try that next!

[@pv4669]

Just ran upon this even though it's 8 years ago. Nice comparison. I think using glasses without logos would improve the video. Visually it's very busy and distracting IMHO.

in canada we have labatt genuine lager. its the same cold filtered beer as miller genuine draft but made by labatt.

[@ronaldtheriot]

I'd love to try that one!

[@jamminjoe44]

Hiya Ron, and cheers!! I`ve always wondered why I felt so horrible the next day after drinking MGD. It gave me the WORST headaches, and stomach problems the day after. It`s been many years since I`ve had a Miller High Life, or the draft version. I`m still drinking budget beer, since craft beer just isn`t affordable for me anymore. Funny story for you, the other day, I noticed I still had some Sam Adams Boston Lager in the fridge, with a good freshness date on it. Well, after drinking Coors Banquet for almost a month now, I popped open my Sam Adams Lager. It was like my taste buds went into shock!! lol. That being said, I`m looking for a rotation beer for the Coors Banquet that I have liked for a while now. I`m wondering if Miller High Life would be a decent rotation beer to go to? It`s been way to long since I`ve had a Miller High Life. However, I don`t recall being put off by it. Anyways, have a great weekend Ron!!

[@ronaldtheriot]

Thanks for the good comments, Joe! Same, back to you!

[@herbieburbie]

Mgd here is 12- 16oz cans for 8.99. Highlife is 5.49 to 5.99 12oz 12pack. Central Illinois. Love those cans

[@ronaldtheriot]

Those are good prices. MUCH better than in Louisiana.

[@ChicagoTechGuy]

Ronald, you know your beers man! Meister Brau! Yes!!! Chicago beer, that Miller acquired which the recipe for Miller Lite is basically Meister Brau pretty much. I am a Chicago Native living in IL, I respect Miller. I just wish Chicago didn't sell off, including Goose Island! Just need to take off that Cardinals gear LOL! Cubs fan here

[@ronaldtheriot]

Well, I've worn Cubs' gear, many times! Thanks, Larseus, and I suppose my "go to" beers would be things like Natural Ice, because it's nice to drink and cheap.

[@OMEGACritical]

I've always stuck to High Life if given the choice. It's funny you mention the "house" flavor, I get the same thing from a lot of Lagunitas' beers. Hard to explain, but I can just tell when I'm drinking something from them.

[@ronaldtheriot]

OMEGACritical Ah, yes. And, what about Stone beers? They all taste very similar to each other, I find. Thanks for watching, OMEGACritical. I appreciate it!

[@desertdrinkersVegas]

I always hated Miller genuine draft but I also haven’t had it since I was 18. I drink Miller high life till this day one of my go 2’s now that I’m closer to 30

[@ronaldtheriot]

I guess I love them both, but the Genuine Draft is a bit more expensive, so I generally buy the Genuine Draft. Thanks for watching, Steven Tellez. I appreciate it!

[@budsodalsky]

the sapporro glass is MGD

[@ronaldtheriot]

Say, what?

[@seanpaul4896]

High life out of a bottle is great. Not much of a mgd fan but only drank it out of cans. In comparison I don't drink miller lite from cans but prefer it on tap. I'm an original coors yellow belly fan too of course. Wish I could taste test brews at 9am lol. Thanks bud for the great reviews and always commenting back.

[@ronaldtheriot]

You're welcome, and thank you, for the good comments and for your support, Sean!

[@tallica4life81]

I personally can drink more highlifes back to back than the mgd due to the different in taste. The highlife seems smoother and mellow in flavor. I will drink mgd once in a while but that roasted nut flavor isn’t for me and I think the mgd makes me feel fuller in my stomach.

[@ronaldtheriot]

That's very interesting, steven weine. There is definitely a difference. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it!

[@jcchavez2009]

I started drinking with Miller High Life at 18. It has a special place in my heart. I have to do this taste challenge to see which one i like more. High Life night. Cheers!!!!

[@tomasmo66]

Ronald Theriot my dad loved that beer.

[@williamreynolds4435]

One of my college friends always referred to Budweiser as "Headache in a Can." (And that was decades ago.) Miller products always seem "gentler" to me somehow. Even their Mickey's is an unusually mild-tasting malt liquor. I think of it as Miller High Life's big brother.

[@ronaldtheriot]

I guess I just never had, for whatever reason, a sensitivity to these products. Thanks for watching, William Reynolds. I appreciate it!

[@dylanheaton5644]

Hey Ronald, subbed to your channel just today and wanted to say that I'm from MN and do see Golden Draft quite a bit but was surprised when you said the light version was the most popular beer in Minneapolis (thought it would be maybe Bud Light). Also wanted to ask what brought you to the Land of Ten Thousand Lakes?

[@ronaldtheriot]

Well, it was very popular, eight years ago, when I was in Minneapolis. Of course, things can change. I went there, to see the Twins (2 times at the Metrodome and 1 time at Target Field). Thanks for watching, Cobra! I appreciate your support!

[@EJE22822]

Good video Ron! I like both on their own, have yet to try them side by side. I appreciate how you touch on the history of these standard beers, which I've started circling back to after a few years of craft beer snobbery. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy a good IPA or imperial stout, but there's just something so comforting about these yellow fizzies. Cheers!

[@ronaldtheriot]

EJE22822 Right, EJE, and I'm glad I never got into either camp (craft or macro).

[@camo7886]

I can get brewed under license MGD in the UK, not High Life though I've had it in the states. I think both are good for the style.

[@joebatters5428]

Enjoyed this video....I am a Miller drinker....I think you get the best bang for the buck with Miller High Life...while it is not the greatest beer in the world it is always consistent....The Genuine Draft is better...up to you if ya wanna spend the extra few dollars for it...beer is really cheap in your state

[@ronaldtheriot]

I think Louisiana must be one of the cheapest beer states. I have been buying lots of Milwaukee's Best Ice.

[@MBFModernHomesteading]

4.7 for the MGD up here in Canada, maybe they changed it since you did the vid though? Cheers.

[@ronaldtheriot]

Well, they do slightly alter it, from time to time, I think. Not much, though. Cheers, back to you!

[@tomasmo66]

and don't forget about the handy keg! which was lone star draft beer in a can! i never got to try it, but i do remember the men in my family drinking it. look for the can on ebay, it's pretty sharp looking, imo.

[@ronaldtheriot]

Tomas A. Molina I was not aware of that one. But, apparently, none of those were true draft beer, because none of the brands stepped up to challenge Miller on it, and, in fact, they all just quickly faded away, in the face of MGD or with beers, like Piels, changed the labels to read "Draft-style beer" or "with that draft taste".

[@tomasmo66]

Ronald Theriot i wish i knew the years that the handy keg was available. hey, i just saw high life plastic quart bottles for the first time today, picked up a few glass 32's for old times sake!

[@ronaldtheriot]

Right! Get the glass while you can!

[@tomasmo66]

Ronald Theriot just added a 32 ouncer, glass, to my mini beer can collection :(

[@ronaldtheriot]

[@johndayan7126]

Another great review Ronald. Both are classic beers for the working man and good beer at a great price, refreshing and well-balanced. Both are classics, but the Genuine Draft was slightly better to my taste. And certified kosher! L'chaim! Thanks Ronald.

You're welcome, John, and thanks, to you!

[@dailydrew3879]

I'm not really sure about what causes headaches with beer, but I know some brands use sulfiites or sulfates, not sure about the spelling, which seems to be what causes me to get headaches. With Miller beer, I don't get the headaches or stomach aches. I don't believe Miller uses them in their production. Either or, I'm sticking with my High life...

Hi Jay would you consider doing a Miller Brand "Super Comparison" with Hamms, MilBest, HighLife and MGD? Thanks!

[@ronaldtheriot]

Well, I might, Terrance, but it's difficult to fit it in.

[@terrencelabroix5272]

Hi Jay, It would be great if you would consider doing another of these in the near term. Specifically an Economy v premium from the same brewer. Eg, MGD v Hamms. Thanks for these videos!

[@ronaldtheriot]

Oh, yes. That's a good idea. I might look into it, Terrence.

[@thecigarfascination6652]

I like both. MGD is a little more, has a more good solid taste. High Life is good, less consistent, some batches good, some not as where I believe MGD is consistent all the time even if its a slight difference. Has the more regular taste, like the exact Bud rival. High Life kinda has been put in the underclass like Pabst. MGD is a compromised middle class beer designed for the working class, but the difference is slight, u can see it though.

[@ronaldtheriot]

I've not noticed a consistency issue with Miller High Life, but I also prefer the Miller Genuine Draft. Thanks for watching, Smokin Giovanni. I appreciate it!

[@kaweah01]

The MDG is in the left hand... This is my favorite domestic beer. Found it on sale for 4.99 a twelver, in bottles.

Hi Jay, Just back from a short trip through michigan and picked up 24 bots high life for 17 bucks including taxes/deposit. I'm doing a high life vs MGD taste test right now as I watch your video again. I cannot taste the difference between them but think they both taste great. I was hoping you could do this comparison again but this time add Milwaukee's Best. That way you'd have the super discount, discount and regular priced brands from the same brewer. Thanks

[@ronaldtheriot]

[@adjunctjones1065]

Hey Ron "the riot"....saw MGD here and picked some up today. It has been years since I have seen this beer. I had bad memories as the one time I drank it ended up getting sick. Made me think something about the filtering did not actually equate to pasteurization....anyway as a lover of High Life, I decided it was time to revisit. My impression is MGD is much smoother with noticeable bittering vs High Life. Also HL has always had the most pronounced "corny" flavor of any adjunct lager around. Part of what makes it High Life, but that corny flavor is much more subdued in Genuine Draft. Back in the early 1990s MGD was a top dog seller and commanded a premium price point. Which makes me have to ask, did you ever try Miller "Colders" a very short lived early 90s beer? Drank a fair bit of it in summer of 92 in Baton Rouge, a budget line that was similar to extra gold lager....AJ

[@ronaldtheriot]

I'm glad you are enjoying it, AJ! Colders? No, I never tried it, because that was before I started my beer adventure (Feb., 1996). Good hearing from you!

I love Miller High Life! Kind of a violation for a Cards fan drinking anything but Busch or Michelob though.

[@ronaldtheriot]

Oh, I'm not a Cardinals fan. I was just wearing the apparel. Thanks for watching, Ryan McAvey. I appreciate it!

[@cliffcurrier6342]

I can get mgd bottles here and do on occasion..but high Life is superior in taste all day long for me..however I miss the cool black and gold mgd cans that dissapeared here..I would buy it in can over high Life...wierd right?

[@ronaldtheriot]

I don't think that's weird. We can't get it at all, in any format, now.

[@camo7886]

Are you saying the yeast in Budweiser gives some people bad hangovers, Ronald? I used to think it was something to do with the rice. It's all anecdotal really anyway.

[@ronaldtheriot]

Camo78 I am just assuming it's the yeast strain, Camo.

[@tweezerjam]

Whats your thinking behind the hard pour?

[@ronaldtheriot]

Well, it released esters, which enhance the drinking experience. Plus, the foam goes down, pretty fast, anyway.

[@tweezerjam]

@@ronaldtheriot - interesting. I have always poured my beers very slowly because I’ve been afraid of killing the carbonation. Is this something you always do or just when you’re reviewing beers?

@@tweezerjam No, I always do it.

I would like to try both of those beers I guess if I can find the single beer cans of both I will give them a try

[@ronaldtheriot]

Yes, single cans/bottles can be a big benefit, at times.

For some reason, I prefer High Life. Either way, I like Hamm's and PBR as much. They all have their place.

Just like you, I enjoy all of them, too. Yep- they all have their place.

[@beerbbqbaseball1585]

Ironically you are wearing a Cards shirt and drinking a Miller product. These are my two favorite adjunct beers. Not sure which I like best. I guess it depends on which one I am drinking at the time. Good review!!

[@ronaldtheriot]

I guess it's a tie, for me. Yeah, I didn't think about that, for the t-shirt & brewer mismatch. Thanks a lot. I appreciate it!

[@Brandon-bh7pj]

A very interesting tasting beer. It is disappointing that the company or this particular brew is fading away the market, from what I've heard. I hope it can stick around for a few more years. I imagine you must be sentimental or favour this stuff having grown up with it. What was your first Beer you ever tried? I'm curious.

[@ronaldtheriot]

I'm not too sentimental, since it didn't come out, until my senior year in high school. The first beer I ever tried was Miller High Life, I think.

I'm drinking a MGD here in UK- on the bottle label it says 'premium pasteurised beer' on the side and 'cold filtered beer' on the front. It cant be both can it?

[@ronaldtheriot]

No, it can not. If it's pasteurized, it is NOT a genuine draft beer. That is bizarre. Thanks for watching, Ricky Durrance. I appreciate it!

Great video so is genuine draft similar to a ice beer?

Do you have a theory as to why High Life is more popular than Genuine Draft ?

[@naturetonyx]

Please rewind and have a look at what beer in which glass (MGD is in Sapporo glass) Ronald have no clue apparently. Also Ronald have said that MGD has more expensive process, but in reality MGD is cold-filtered. Essentially cold-filtering is a way of purifying beer with a shortened process time. Basically the time from brewing to finished product is shortened, therefore boosting productivity. Filtration is cheaper than pasteurisation. A bit awkward isn't it Ronald?

Anton Burmistrov Very awkward, Anton Burmistrov. I am so humiliated! Thanks for watching. I appreciate it!

For the last two or three years, there has been a very slight difference, but until then, the only difference was cold filtering vs. pasteurizing. Thanks for watching, Dennis Maloney. I appreciate it!
