I can verify this. I used to work for a Miller beer distributor back in the late 90's. I don't remember the exact date, but around the early-mid 90's Miller decided to make the beer seem hip by abbreviating it. Yes,long before Kentucky Fried Chicken thought of it. I hate to say that the POS (point of sale) sign is not old atomic age, but a newer incarnation.

But have no fear, there are a few options you can choose. You could sell it to someone who collects beer memorabilia, have someone (or yourself if you are inclined) design a retro been label and such and replace the Miller text and logo, or keep it as is an enjoy it. I honestly don't see a problem with it as is, but I do enjoy Miller Genuine Draft on occasions to remember the old days when I started drinking. Bottom line is that not matter what the age, it's a nice sign!
