    We all hear about how great shower beers, the first beer on vacation, and beers with your son/dad are all the time. I was wondering, what are some of the lesser known beer experiences that you all really enjoy?

    My List:
    • Beer given complimentary at workplace socials
    • The fancy barber shop beer
    • Poker Night Beers
    • Halftime at the game beer
    • Flight at a new brewery
    Cheers!

    Hmmm . . . this is a tough one, 'cause anything that involves beer is usually rated just right in my eyes.

    Haven't really thought about it since I welcome beer anytime.

    Mine is pretty low-key: the beer after a 5 miles stroll on the beach at dusk. Incredible beer experience.

    I suppose going to someones house who would have never guessed drank good beer, only to find out that they do, and now you have a new drinking buddy.

    Beers around a campfire in the fall, good company and conversation, and no modern distractions.

    My all time favorite beer moments have been at concerts, especially when I land at a venue with good choices. nothing like good beer, loud music and sweat

    My wife is iffy on beer. She'll really enjoy some stuff and can't stand other stuff. A beer I really enjoy is one I pegged her liking and was right. Sharing that one makes me happy.

    I have 2.

    1. After cutting the grass on a hot day then coming inside having a cold one before jumping in the shower and watching football the rest of the day. Love that.

    2. Getting up early, going fishing, and cracking one open on the lake as the sun is coming up.

    Nothing better than dusk hitting, sitting next to a lake/pond and casting out a line and grabbing a freezing cold beer from the cooler. Something about that peaceful evening with just crickets in the background and no computers, phones, lights, noise, just peace and quiet.
    That is the best.....

    I always enjoy pointing someone to a beer they end up liking, doubly so if they aren't fans of beer to begin with.

    Going into a bottle shop, liquor store etc that isn't in the same state or area of the country that you live. Be it traveling on vacation/work or for me moving every three years. Seeing shelves of beer you haven't tried is like Christmas for me.

    As for repeat moments, +1 on a long run (anything 10+ miles) and great, cold, snappy beer while I still have a runner's high going...
