Miller is triple hopped?

Sat Mar 21, 2009 6:30 pm

Alright, is anyone else really bothered withe Miller Lite commercial stating that their beers are triple hopped? Really, are there hops in that beer? They are not even telling the whole truth about hopping a beer. Also, they do not mention that hops actually "bitter" a beer. Maybe it is b/c they have spent 25 plus years telling people their beer is "smooth" and not bitter. Anyhow, it is "Lipstick on a Pig" again for a Megaswill Beer Commercial.
beer. simply, beer.

The hop schedule for the beer probably just calls for 3 additions... or hop extract rather. It seems they are trying to dupe people by using craft beer lingo. If you google this, you will be surprised how many other people are blogging about it. A lot of people are calling them out.

I effing hate this commercial. It's Triple Hops Brewed. WTF does that mean? That's not even anything! I'm glad other people are calling them out on this because it's offensive.

I think the 3 cones are just in the same room as the brew kettle. They don't actually touch the beer.
