    Mine too, or a Pete's Wicked Ale, I can't remember which. It was in late 1992 when I went to college at Northern Arizona University. Unless you count all the German, English and Belgian beers I was drinking while living in Germany and Belgium while I was in High School (my father was in the Air Force and stationed in Germany for a year then Belgium for three years immediately thereafter). Ah, what an education in beer I had in my early formidable drinking years!

    Nukey Brown here was the first non BMC beer. Rogue Shakespeare Stout was the first craft, though.

    I believe my first craft beer was a Sam Adams. Not exactly sure which one. My first legal beer I believe was also a Sam Adams. It was a seasonal. That's all I remember haha.

    My first craft beer was a local brew by Picaroons (Fredericton, New Brunswick). I believe it was their interpretation of an English Blonde Ale. Haven't looked back since and still enjoy their blonde ale from time to time.

    Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale, 1986. Not Sure about American craft, but I think it must have been from Anchor or Sam Adams
