I’m excited to have Miller sponsor RAGBRAI this year. This is my 5th full RAGBRAI. It was dissappointing however last year that most of the towns only had Miller Lite. It was nice when they had Miller Genuine Draft in every town in previous years. Please bring Miller Genuine Draft to each town’s beverage garden this year. Also, please have the beverage gardens include some grassy areas if possible. It is nice to be able to sit down!

Ragbrai would be alot better with a different sponsor. Hardly anyone likes miller light in Iowa.

“Steve” is right- why do all the good events have a crappy beer sponsor?

Miller Lite Rocks and has the best parties on the ride!! Plus they are a huge supporter of the RAGBRAI events and donate a lot of money each year to the Children’s Charities of Iowa from the bus that they donate every year to be given away.

Tastes great to me – if you don’t like it- stay home.

Why is Iowa such an alcoholic state? Seems like everything here revolves around wine or beer. Put an extra tax on the booze and we could be out of debt.
