    Default What was the first style of beer you ever tried?

    I went a bit hard on my first style of beer. I believe they call it a German doppelbock. It makes sense since I'm of German descent.

    I had a sip from my dad in the fifth grade, no idea what it was. But my first buy was Rolling Rock.

    My favorite beer now is most NW beers. Especially Ambers. I would probably say Alaskan is my favorite.

    My dad's Colt 45 was my first taste of beer/malt liquor. Like they say, it...

    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    One of my grand-uncles used to pour me a shot glass size bit of Black Label when we'd visit them after Church on Sundays. I think he did it to turn me off drinking forever because the stuff was nasty.

    Back in High School we all drank Millers in the clear glass bottles. If I had a good week money-wise I'd buy Molsons. If I had a really good week it would be Becks Dark, and that is still one of my favorites.

    When I was growing up, all blue and white collar working men drank Bud, Miller, Pabst, Schlitz, et al. I think my Papa drank Stroh's, and probably let me have half a glass occassionally.

    Back then, you probably would have been considered a bit of a fancy dancer for drinking Molson, Becks, or even Coors.

    Now the issue with those brands is they capitalized after prohibition. Many of the big brands sold a weak sauce version of beer and made a fortune.

    That I did not know.
    The beer choices today are overwhelming, and I would not even know what to get even if I wanted to drink beer.
    The only time I really drink is when I am around Russians, and a shot or two of vodka is basically just a social obligation.

    One trend I don't care for is the consolidation in the industry..

    Many beers are no longer made in the same place, different water & who knows what else~ just don't taste the same..

    Example rolling rock, becks, even Newcastle..........

    Wow, bummer. Newcastle Nut Brown Ale is one of the best beers in the world, and one of the few bottled in clear bottles.
