The brand is facing backlash over its two-month-old commercial, which highlights the historical role that women played in beer brewing.
"Women were among the very first to brew beer, ever," comedian Ilana Glazer says in the advert, while walking through a brewery."From Mesopotamia to the Middle Ages to colonial America, women were the ones doing the brewing."
Glazer then walks through a room covered in previous Miller Lite advertising materials featuring scantily clad women in sexual poses with their faces blurred. She drops a picture in a garbage can."It's time beer made it up to women," Glazer says. The commercial, which was released in March, appears to serve as something of an apology from Miller for some of its prior advertising campaigns, which the company itself described as"outdated" and"sexist."
