Along with the kickoff events, Miller64 will sponsor a web series from production and distribution company DBG called "The Sub." It debuts June 4 on select men's lifestyle and sportsWweb sites within DBG's digital portfolio, as well as on FSN TV beginning in July. The show will chronicle what happens when recreational sports teams are surprised with former professional athletes being placed on their roster. Fans can look forward to seeing such stars as Terrell Owens, Jennifer Kessy, Brandi Chastain, David Justice and Gary Payton showcasing their talents.

"Miller64 is the refreshing beer that makes it easy to live a truly balanced and active lifestyle," said Elaine Obergfell, Miller64 marketing manager, in a release. "We're launching GO64 to celebrate like-minded beer drinkers on our favorite day of the year, 6/4. We hope it reminds them to go out and go play this summer and, of course, to reward themselves with a light, crisp Miller64 afterwards."
