Miller’s a fine beer. The asshats at Beer Advocate are just tied up in their little hipster microbrewery world and refuse to acknowledge that some mass production stuff is quality, too. Hrll, even a Budweiser is great on a hot afternoon when you just mowed the lawn.

What kind of sick fuck drinks a 7oz bottle of Miller and pays $6 for the privilege?

Better than Sam Adams lager? That surprises me.
Who said what was better than Sam Lag? I like Sam Lag. Just not all the time.

The chef chose High Life from a selection of mass produced and reasonably priced beers. I figured that selection would have contained Sam Adams.
Education is extremely important.

Depends on how someone is defining reasonably priced. A case of Sam is running $25-$32. A 30 pack of Miller is $17-$22. That’s almost half the price. Beyond that, Miller High Life is a pale lager, nearly a Pilsner.. Generally a lot lighter, a better match for more foods, and not as heavy on the stomach. The calorie count is lighter, too.
If the restaurant was looking for the darker lager flavor profile, my bet is they would have gone with Yuengling for the price.
But hey, I like Sam, too. And Sam was one of the driving forces in the microbrewery movement, especially the restaurants that brew their own beers. On top of that, they helped push for the removal of the 5% ABV limit.

Miller’s ok. I like it better than Bud, which is sweet to my taste, and I cannot abide a sweet beer. Mo’ bitter, mo’ better.

Lucas and I drank a High Life and a Coors Banquet a month back. As I explained to him at the time, when you drink a pils or a pale ale, you are tasting the hops, which can be quite good, with wide varieties. When you drink a dark lager or a stout you taste the malt, along with hints of coffee, chocolate, and more, which can be quite good. When you drink a High Life or a Banquet, you are tasting beer. And sometimes that’s just the thing…

Your analysis is interesting, but possibly irrelevant, since they're charging the bozo's $6 for a 7 ounce glass of Miller.
Of course, if you really want to drink something that goes well with overpriced food, I'd suggest over-priced wine is a better choice.

Perfect analysis btw. Especially pairing with foods. Relatively speaking, of course.
