Former Miller CEO William Howell Dies At Age 83

image
From JSOnline:

When Bill Howell joined Miller Brewing Co. in 1970, the "champagne of beers" ranked as the nation's No. 7 brew with a narrow upmarket following.

But Miller was never the same after Howell helped widen the appeal to a mass market of blue-collar drinkers and transform the American brewing industry with the introduction of the nation's first mainstream low-calorie beer.

Howell, who retired as Miller's chief executive in 1988, died May 25 in Richmond, Va., after a long illness. He was 83.
