The first beer that you loved

First love was Newcastle Brown. Moved to porkslap, But then dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA.

 

Old Ruffian great divide

 

I liked a lot of beers when I was young, but when lagunitas brown shugga and sucks came out, I remember being in love with it to the point where I bought a ton of it. I drank so much of it I really don't dig brown shugga anymore. I think Sierra Nevada pale and those two were my first "loves."

 

Not "love", but definitely showed me that not all beer was Bud Light. Newcastle Brown. I tried Samuel Smith Nut Brown after that, and fell in love with that!

 

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

 

DFH 120min

 

First REAL love? Chimay Blue. I need to revisit that beer.

 

I'll never forget the label either... it was when they introduced this particular label that Bally IPA began to lack any character. It was downhill from this point onwards. :-(
THAT'S probably why you can't remember the beer.

 

Chimay Blue opened the door and Heady Topper pulled me in completely.

 

New Belgium Abbey - this is going back to the early 90's

 

Devil Mountain 5 Malt Ale!! My first favorite beer.

 

Bell's Amber

 

Don't laugh but I'd say either Sam Adams Cherry Wheat or Blue Moon Nut Brown Ale (around 1994-1995). Loved both of them back in my infancy. Then I also gravitated toward Pete's Strawberry Blonde. So embarrassing, but I'm being honest here.

The beer that got me hooked on beer was hoegaarden

 

Duvel. This was the beer that made me realize that not all beers are equal.

 

Guinness Extra Stout.

 

Sip of Sunshine for hops. Boulevard Saison-Brett for funk.

I've since come back to Sip of Sunshine and don't care much for it anymore. Saison-Brett still holds up.

 

Whitbread when it was still brewed in England.
