From innovative outdoor string lighting to homeowners seen outfitting their 12-foot skeletons with a Santa hat to avoid HOA fines, holiday decor is experiencing a big remix. Are we surprised to see Miller Lite showing up in a big way? No, not after the popularity of the legendary Big Green Kegg, but we're thrilled to welcome YuleLager to the party.

The new Miller Lite YuleLager drops on November 22nd. It's a digital fireplace-slash-beer dispenser. It has an LED fireplace screen; it chills your brews; it's just whimsical enough to become the MVP of your holiday setup. Whether you’re hosting the annual ugly sweater party, a low-key family night, or just hanging with your favorite people, the YuleLager is here to make Miller Time the time this holiday season.

The YuleLager Is the Ultimate Party Trick

It’s not just a fireplace. It’s not just a beer tower. It’s both:

The BeerBlaze LED Screen: The display turns frothy, golden beer into an eight-hour "fire" you’ll actually want to stare at. No kindling required.
Chimney-Inspired Beer Tower: A removable, fully insulated tap that holds over 100 fl. oz. of your favorite beer.
Sounds You Can Sip To: What's a fake fire without a crackling fire soundscape?
Built-In Stocking Hooks: Hang your holiday cheer right on the YuleLager. No mantle? No problem.
Extra Beer Storage Space: Because who wants to leave the party to restock?

The YuleLager goes on sale on November 22nd, 2024 at shop.millerlite.com. But fair warning: supplies are limited, and you’re not the only one with good taste.

How it Works

The YuleLager isn’t just an accessory—it’s the main event.

Plug It In: Assembly is as simple as snapping the beer tower onto the wooden base. Electricity does the rest.
Fill It Up: Ice-cold Miller Lite goes in the chimney-inspired tap for maximum chill. The insert can be frozen in advance or filled with ice to chill the beer without watering it down.
Pour and Enjoy: With one pull of the tap, you’ll have the perfect pour in hand and a room full of impressed guests.
Deck It Out: Stockings, tinsel, or just the glow of the BeerBlaze—it’s your call.

Who’s this for?

Honestly? Any beer lovers.

The Host with the Most: Nothing says “legendary party” like beer on tap next to a beer-powered fire.
The Low-Key Gatherer: Transform an at-home hang into a cozy spectacle that’s way better than a boring candle.
The Holiday Rebel: Tired of the same old eggnog and peppermint everything? It's holiday time, and this one’s for you.

FAQ

Do I need to know anything about beer towers to use this?

Not at all. If you can pour a beer, you can master the YuleLager.

Can I stream the BeerBlaze if I miss out on the YuleLager?

Yes — and we love that they made it an option for the folks who couldn't convince their SO to get on board. Just head over to Miller Lite’s YouTube channel for the virtual version. It’s not quite the same as pulling a cold one from the chimney, but hey, it’s close.
