Miller Time: A History of Miller Brewing Company, 1855-2005

Pretty enough for the finest coffee table (or back bar), Miller Time charts the growth of a legend in the American beer business. In 1855, a German immigrant named Frederick Miller purchased a bankrupt brewery for $2,370. It survived competition, Prohibition, and consolidation to become the second-largest producer in America.
