Miller High Life introduces beer-infused vinyl record

A soundtrack for your favorite dive bar

Miller High Life Dive Bar Sounds.
Miller High Life

Miller High Life is at it again. The label introduced the world to a dive bar fragrance not too long ago. Now, it’s infusing vinyl records with beer.

The album is called Dive Bar Sounds and is a release commemorating Miller High Life’s forthcoming music platform, otherwise known as Soundtrack to the High Life. It’s an atmospheric record inspired by familiar sounds from your favorite watering hole, from clanking glasses during a toast to the dull roar of bar conversation. The album is officially available starting April 10th with more details here. And yes, as the picture above suggests, there’s actual beer in the album itself.

Seven tracks make up the record, including songs like Champagne Nights, Regular’s Remix, and Welcome to the Dive. It’s a great way to bring some of that special ambience back to your place. And as all know that nothing beats the sound quality of a great vinyl record.

Dive Bar Sounds is all original material, familiar as it might sound. Listeners will pick up on things like pool balls crashing into one another, beers being cracked, and the buzz of neon bar signs. Not much beats a real dive bar, but this might be a close second, and you don’t even need to get dressed.

It’s part of a small but growing number of drinks brands looking to dabble in the music realm. Recently, Fords Gin released its latest musical collaboration record, which celebrates the Negroni. It’s a great way to celebrate the whole point of these gathering spaces, which is to foster community around good company, good drinks, and some good background noise.

Leinenkugel’s drops shandy-infused custard sandwich
A boozy ice cream sandwich for the ages
Leidenkugel's Summer Shandwich.

There are a lot of fine ways to beat the summer heat. Lately, it's been frozen treats hit with a little hooch from the likes of Miller High Life. Following suit and working with boozy ice cream pros Tipsy Scoop, Leinenkugel's has dropped a special frozen custard.

Inspired by the Shandy, the so-called Shandwich is made with an assortment of ingredients. They add up to be a nice homage to the brand's home state of Wisconsin. The result is something we very much would enjoy, sitting by the lake on a hot August afternoon.

The Finger Lakes Region might be known for its wine, but don’t sleep on its beer
Come for the wine, but stay for the Finger Lakes beer

If you know anything about the Finger Lakes Region of New York State, it's that the area is an excellent spot for summer vacations, with eleven lakes spanning 9,000 square miles from the Syracuse region to Rochester. It's a fantastic area of the country for camping, hiking, fishing, swimming, and boating. It's also a well-known destination for wine-centric vacations due to its many wineries scattered throughout the lakes (over 130 wineries). But if you're only visiting the region for wine and hiking, you're missing out on some outstanding breweries. I've lived in the Finger Lakes Region for my whole life. I've noticed that, like in much of the country, in the last few decades, the area has become home to countless noteworthy, award-winning breweries with more seemingly springing up every few months.
