Golly, I sure do miss a good dive bar. That’s what I want for Christmas!

Yes, we should absolutely stop making bespoke or small-run items and should instead mass-produce everything in case more people want to buy it than we expect!

(/s, obviously. Come ON.)

I gotta say, this thing is (was, since it’s sold out, I guess) pretty amazing.
Everyone loves a good dive bar.
My favorite local dive bar is long since closed, but we do have one that is also a burger joint that kinda fills the bill. Decent food available pushes it above our old favorite, but lack of shitty pool tables is a bummer.

This is a thing I didn’t know needed to exist!

I heard that in the voice of Gomez Addams (TV Show version).

I like getting gingerbread houses after Christmas on clearance and just putting the frosting on and eating them.

I can appreciate a well-crafted gingerbuilding like this but I’d feel bad eating one this nice. Just give me that sweet, spicy wall board.

These are marketing ploys.

Molson-Coors is not looking to make revenue on packaged gingerbread houses. They’re looking to minimize the money they spent on a viral marketing campaign.

Personally what I’m sick of is companies selling, at pretty high prices, what is usually just promotional junk. Then using it to rake in easy media attention.

For only $10 more, they’ll include a gingerbread Patrick Swayze as the bouncer!

Does Miller Highlife and gingerbread work as a beer/food pairing?

If you dip the gingerbread in enough fake nacho cheese and eat it with an underdressed, heavy smoker named “Myrna.”

Never mind the syrup. If you put flypaper on the bar stools, you can populate your kit with bar flies.

thanks for the idea, Miller! next year i’m gonna make one of these.

Always loved the honesty behind the “high life” name. It will also work well as big booze becomes big pot.

Screw that, I want a gingerbread Bukowski.

…The kit includes packets of Vermont maple syrup to drizzle across the Miller High Life-branded floor.

Simulating what is locally known as 'vous goo, after an old dive bar, the Rendezvous Inn.
