'It’s time beer made it up to women': Miller Lite APOLOGIZES for using women in bikinis to sell beer after campaigns featuring Sofia Vergara, Meghan Markle and Pamela Anderson: New ad echoes woke Dylan Mulvaney controversy

Miller Lite has apologized for its history of advertisements featuring women in bikinis with a woke commercial.

In the one minute and 30 second spot posted online, comedian Ilana Glazer says 'It's time beer made it up for women,' as she touted women's role in the brewing process — going all the way back to early civilization.

She explained in the commercial that Miller Lite created a campaign for Women's History Month in March to buy up old marketing materials to turn them into compost, which could be used to make fertilizer.

That fertilizer would then be donated to female hops farmers, and the hops grown from the recycled materials would be sent to female brewers.

The 'Bad $#!T to Good $#!T' campaign came ahead of its rival Bud Light's disastrous Dylan Mulvaney ad, featuring the transgender TikTok star drinking out of a beer can with her face on it.

The company has since lost more than $6million in market capitalization, and a marketing executive criticized Bud Light for losing touch of its audience.

Now, some are saying the same about Miller Lite.

This is unfair, beer owes women nothing. Think of all the ugly women who would be childless if not for beer.

Glazer ought to make it up to women for misrepresenting them.

Aw, come on. Have some respect for tradition. Fascists torch materials they don’t like. They don’t turn them into compost.

Stuff like this is why James Bond is dead. Time to bury the franchise. Can’t have him flirting with the ladies. That’s not woke.

Yuengling is the oldest brewery in the United States. Their Board of Directors is not trying to preach to their consumers.

What’s more, it’s a fine brew.

Apparently she is married to a man and had a baby with him.

Apologize for what? Women in bikinis are not just appealing to men. They are appealing to lesbians and women who transconvert to men.

If women aren’t happy with a beer company’s ads, then they can simply buy another brand. There’s no need to be harpies about it.
