Miller High Life is again honoring its century-old connection with the outdoors by introducing limited-edition, camouflaged packaging and cans of Miller High Life and Miller High Life Light. Available nationally from approximately Oct. 1 through Dec. 31, the outdoor-themed 24- and 30-packs continue the brand's support of the outdoors, which has included affiliations with Whitetails Unlimited and Pheasants Forever.

"We received a lot of positive feedback from the launch of last year's limited-edition, blaze-orange High Life cans, so this year's outdoor-themed packaging is a way to continue that tradition, and include an even broader array of outdoors activities," said Miller High Life Senior Brand Manager Kevin Oglesby. "This initiative is really a reflection of many of our consumers. It's a great way to acknowledge activities that are an important part of their lives, and show our appreciation for their support of Miller High Life."

Displays and signage at retail locations will highlight the outdoor High Life and High Life Light packages, available in 12-ounce and 16-ounce cans. In addition, the brand will tie in its popular High Life Extras program, which allows consumers to collect points through package purchases and redeem them for exclusive High Life merchandise.* Continuing the outdoors theme, the Extras program will allow consumers to redeem points for items such as camouflaged hats, camping gear and a Miller High Life cruiser bicycle.

The High Life outdoors packaging is scheduled to remain on store shelves through December, but supplies may vary from market to market. Outdoors merchandise available through the Extras program is available starting Oct. 1 until supplies last.

* The High Life Extras program is available in all states, except for AR, CA, CT, HI, IN, KY, NJ, VA and WV.
