What is that "Miller" referring to?

 
"Miller Genuine Draft" is a kind of horse urine marketed as beer.

Glad we have here, where I live, something called "Reinheitsgebot"
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinheitsgebot] and also a history
of quality beer, of course. :-)

The best thing about the Reinheitsgebot is that it specifies that
half of the year a Mass of bier may not exceed one Pfennig in price,
and for the other half of the year it may not exceed two Pfennigs.
And you say german brewers are still abiding by that, do you? If
so, I must visit.

The German Reinheitsgebot - why it's a load of old bollocks

Introduction

The Reinheitsgebot, the oldest consumer protection law and a guarantee
of beer quality. An example to the world of how beer should be brewed,
as the Germans have done for centuries. Well, not really. These are a
few of the myths I would like to expose. Everyone thinks that they know
what the Reinheitsgebot is and mostly consider that's it's pretty
groovy. This is an attempt to have an objective look at what can be a
very emotive subject.

Now, some people may be a little shocked and perhaps even outraged by
the title of this page so a few words of explanation first. German beer,
generally, is brewed to a very high standard, one which of the rest of
the world rightly envies. Unfortunately, many people seem to get
confused about the reasons for the high quality of German beer. As far
as I can tell, the Reinheitsgebot is totally irrelevant; German beer is
good because German brewers are highly skilled and make their beer with
pride and care.
