[edit] Multiple edits

When editting this page, please make all changes at once rather than several in a row. I encountered 4 edit conflicts in a row when making my changes because of successive minor changes. Thanks much. --BaronLarf 21:45, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)

sorry, my fault. Its looking much better already. Justinc 21:48, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)


[edit] English Miller

Whats the Miller you get over here in England, in a silver can. Its not MGD.

It's Miller Pilsner

[edit] The Miller referee

The most recent mascot for the company is the Miller referee. --User:Angie Y.

[edit] Recipes

This article claims that High Life and Genuine Draft are the same recipe. I don't think that's been true since High Life went back to an all-malt recipe. Can anyone verify?

I have tagged it for citation - hopefully somebody can provide one. --Chancemichaels 15:51, 7 December 2006 (UTC)Chancemichaels

[edit] Company name

According to both the company logo and the company itself ([2]), Miller's official name is Miller Brewing Company. Shouldn't the article be renamed that (currently it's just Miller Brewing) and the article be moved from Miller Brewing to Miller Brewing Company? - Walkiped 22:59, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, good catch. It should. Done. --Chancemichaels 20:31, 30 October 2006 (UTC)Chancemichaels


[edit] Beast

Where I live (Portland), only Milwaukee's Best Ice is referred to as Beast. All other varieties are referred to by the full title or some simple abbreviation thereof. I don't want to edit the article without mentioning this on the talk page - has anyone had contrary experiences? unless 13:32, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Here in Ithaca, I've heard the regular stuff called Beast - Milwaukee's Best Ice would be Beast Ice. User:Cjh57

all Milwaukees Best labels are referred to as Beast in Southern Ohio, especially the red label cans. trappy77

[edit] COI and Wikiscanner

By using Wiki scanner, I have found that many COI edits of a POV nature were made by IP addresses linked to the Miller Brewing Company. Thus, despite the disruption this may have caused, I think it is safe to best revert to a version before any recorded edits made by the company. I would be happy to help in re-creating any edits made in-between then and now. Thank you VanTucky Talk 04:36, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Did you actually look at the difference between versions? There's... hardly any. I can't find any edit which stayed that really strikes me as POV. There were some POV edits in between, but they were all reverted. FCYTravis 13:14, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] American Beer company???

American Beermaker should have some short explanation because it is misleading and seems to say beer maker of America instead of labeling the type of beer a South African firm makes.

Miller is owned by SABMiller. Check the company website. http://www.millerbrewing.com/aboutMiller/aboutInternational.asp

SABMiller is a South African company. Check the company website. http://www.sabmiller.com/sabmiller.com/en_gb/

This is a South African company. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trappy77 (talk • contribs) 05:13, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Miller is an American-born and -based brewery, which still has a major plant here in Milwaukee; yes, it is owned by a South African firm, but so what? --Orange Mike | Talk 22:05, 7 January 2008 (UTC) (typing this a few blocks from the Miller plant)
