    no matter how many times they change the bottle this beer will always taste like urine.

    At first glance, it almost looks like they're trying to pull the same shit as Budweiser by slightly reducing the size of the bottle. None of the articles I've read confirm whether its still a 12 ounce bottle.

    Unless they shorten the height of the boxes, or narrow the width of them, they'll still only be able to ship the same number of bottles and it will (presumably) cost the same for shipping.

    Monkey see monkey do. Why bother spending money improving what's inside the package when you can mimic your competition and spend money on actual packaging.

    Long overdue bottle change. The vortex wasn't enough. Should've put an airvent to drink it faster, though.

    Easy handling from the bar to the pool table? Really??? I'm no expert in this area, but I thought that is what waitstaff and trays were for?

    I wanted to say something witty and snarky, but in the end this just makes me do the ole half laugh, half cry into my hands. Miller Lite: YOU CAN TASTE THE MARKETING!

    We've had the bottles at my bar for a week now. I didn't really even notice until someone said something to me. But they are still 12oz.

    I work for a Miller wholesaler. As of right now these bottles are limited to certain accounts Miller wants them in. So in my territory at least, it's not an every account deal. I believe it's more of a limited release bottle.

    Or someone to say it tasted better in the old bottles?

    Not sure why this even being discussed. I get the "we can post/discuss what we want" but it's Miller, they market something all the time. That is what companies with money do. Be shocked when they stop doing it.

    Do you look at the forums often? This is pretty in-line with subject matter that gets discussed. BMC gets mentioned ALL the time. :rolling_eyes:
