That was the year that Mrs. Lorraine John Mulberger, granddaughter of Frederick Miller (who founded Miller Brewing Co. back in 1855) sold off 53% of the business.\r\n\r\nThat’s not the funny part. The funny part is, it was because she “objected to alcohol.” The heiress to one of America’s quintessential breweries! It’s rumored that the Mrs. was actually the inspiration for the High Life Girl, who sits dressed in all red and hoisting a cold one, perched on the crescent moon that adorns each label.\r\n\r\n<em>Photo by Andrew Nawrocki, Groupon</em>\r\n\r\n<em>Shop for local deals in <a href=\"/local/beer-wine-and-spirits\">beer, wine, or spirits</a>.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Read more to find some friends for that High Life with more beer coverage on the Guide.</strong>\r\n<div style=\"width: 100%; clear: both;\">\r\n<div style=\"float: left; width: 20%; margin-right: 25px;\"><a href=\"/articles/a-six-pack-to-sip-all-summer-long-fd\"><img alt=\"a six pack to sip all summer long fd\" src=\"https://img.grouponcdn.com/seocms/Hadovef5sdiGmeuXJxJV3/a-six-pack-to-sip-all-summer-long-fd_600x390-600x390.jpeg\" width=\"100%\" /></a></div>\r\n<div style=\"float: right; width: 75%;\"><strong><a href=\"/articles/a-six-pack-to-sip-all-summer-long-fd\">A Six-Pack to Sip All Summer Long</a></strong>\r\n<em style=\"display: block;\">We assemble a six-pack of signature, seasonal, and sour beers to start off summer.</em></div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div style=\"width: 100%; clear: both;\">\r\n<div style=\"float: left; width: 20%; margin-right: 25px;\"><a href=\"/articles/allagash-white-is-the-original-gateway-beer\"><img alt=\"Allagash White\" src=\"https://img.grouponcdn.com/seocms/h2oBQj1VyGfgiHhUxRnPjm/Allagash-White_600x390-600x390.jpeg\" width=\"100%\" /></a></div>\r\n<div style=\"float: right; width: 75%;\"><strong><a href=\"/articles/allagash-white-is-the-original-gateway-beer\">Allagash White</a></strong>\r\n<em style=\"display: block;\">Why this Belgian white ale from Maine scared people at first and then introduced them to a whole new world of beers.</em></div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div style=\"width: 100%; clear: both;\">\r\n<div style=\"float: left; width: 20%; margin-right: 25px;\"><a href=\"/articles/what-finchs-wet-hot-american-wheat-has-in-common-with-paul-rudd-fd\"><img alt=\"Wet Hot American\" src=\"https://img.grouponcdn.com/seocms/8zkESGVfYUFd3Rq5XGkjXC/Wet-Hot-American_600x390-600x390.jpeg\" width=\"100%\" /></a></div>\r\n<div style=\"float: right; width: 75%;\"><strong><a href=\"/articles/what-finchs-wet-hot-american-wheat-has-in-common-with-paul-rudd-fd\">Finch’s Wet Hot American Wheat</a></strong>\r\n<em style=\"display: block;\">Finch's founder and lead brewer explains what the beer has in common with Paul Rudd.</em></div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div style=\"width: 100%; clear: both;\">\r\n<div style=\"float: left; width: 20%; margin-right: 25px;\"><a href=\"/articles/why-magic-hat-9-is-like-the-lorax-fd\"><img alt=\"Magic hat\" src=\"https://img.grouponcdn.com/seocms/cWyTbADKzTzbTytSTKc2uy/Magic-hat_600x390-600x390.jpeg\" width=\"100%\" /></a></div>\r\n<div style=\"float: right; width: 75%;\"><strong><a href=\"/articles/why-magic-hat-9-is-like-the-lorax-fd\">Magic Hat #9</a></strong>\r\n<em style=\"display: block;\">We talk to Magic Hat’s brewers about the origins of their name and why #9 isn’t one of those sickly sweet fruit beers.</em></div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div style=\"width: 100%; clear: both;\">\r\n<div style=\"float: left; width: 20%; margin-right: 25px;\"><a href=\"/articles/beer-be-it-bottled-growlered-or-canned-fd\"><img alt=\"chicagos first beer csa sold out in a week heres why theres a waiting list counter 600c390\" src=\"https://img.grouponcdn.com/seocms/cmryzJwfubKf4GgxmVMfg7/chicagos-first-beer-csa-sold-out-in-a-week-heres-why-theres-a-waiting-list_counter_600c390-600x390.jpeg\" width=\"100%\" /></a></div>\r\n<div style=\"float: right; width: 75%;\"><strong><a href=\"/articles/beer-be-it-bottled-growlered-or-canned-fd\">Craft Beer Coverage</a></strong>\r\n<em style=\"display: block;\">Beer tastings, interviews about beer, pairings for beer, and beer news best read while drinking a beer.</em></div>\r\n</div>"}}}}
