Beers you once loved

Great Divide Hercules and Titan DIPA/IPA. Still love Great Divide. I just lost my taste for really hoppy beers in 2008, I think.

 

Heineken Dark. It really was my first beer and I was loyal to it, don't think you could pay me to have one today though.
Unless of course I could have them with Eva K again at the LA river bridge in Lawndale

 

Used to hang with a crowd that drank a lot of GCA. Personally, I LOVED 12 Horse. Seemed like a much better upgrade vs GCA. But the reincarnated version of it now is scored so badly by BA folks that I just don't have an interest in going back.

 

Sam Summer, until it started tasting like soap to me.
#9, in the beginning of my craft beer days.
Cherry Wheat, again in the beginning of my craft beer days.
However SNPA, which was the beer that got me going...I will still drink the shit out of that.

 

I can still recall that fermenty/gaggy crap. I drank a few, but they were the gag reflex champs!

 

Dos Equis Amber (or dark). I used to love it. I tried it recently and wondered if The Most Interesting Man in the World had blown out his taste buds. I quickly moved on to a Negra Modelo.

 

Anything called craft I not really ran into that. But then again I have moved to different beers over the years.
I do know Founder's is spoiling me, after all the rich tastes (you pay for it). The plain old SA cream stout just seems kind of bland. lol. I like the high grav beers best in most styles. of course to answer your question nope not happened yet.

 

Lagunitas. I don't know if it was my palate shifting, or if they changed something, but about 6 years ago every one of their beers just started tasting off to me. And I used to drink a lot of their beers.

 

Labatt Velvet Cream Porter and Molson Porter come to mind but the one I miss most is Belhaven 80/. Sure, a beer called Belhaven 80/ is still being brewed by Belhaven in Dunbar but it bears absolutely no similarity to what Sandy Hunter produced. Nothing whatsoever.

 

In college I loved Rolling Rock and Michelob Amber Bock. I probably haven't had either of those since then. And I graduated in 2000.

 

Yea, I think pyramid bought out Magic Hat. Fiddlehead is indeed worlds better!

 

I used to really like Rolling Rock, haven't had one in years maybe I should give it another try.

 

I thought Lazy Magnolia's Southern Pecan was liquid gold. Oh, how things have changed.

 

Newcastle and Sea Dog Blueberry - both are near undrinkable to me now.

 

New Belgium - Ranger and Left Hand - Milk Stout. I don't dislike them now I just always pass them up to try other offerings. Like the girl you loved but had to move on because you weren't ready to settle!

 

when I first started. I was all about the hop bomb. but as I drank more and more styles, I realized that I like a balance and started to appreciate the balance.

But, before hand I though I was classy if I was drinking miller lite.

 

Yes Bass was probably my favorite beer for a while in the 90's. Now it tastes like garbage to me. Rather have BMC over a Bass now adays.

 

The other way around - Independent Brewers United, Inc., Magic Hat Brewing company affiliate to acquire Pyramid Breweries (2008) and a couple of years later NAB (parent of Genesee and, in the US, Labatt) purchased IBU - North American Breweries, Inc. Acquires Independent Brewers United, Inc.

 

I've NEVER even in my entire life heard of these things... shows you how much times have changed...

 

I have to say Fat Tire. I enjoyed it back when it was not available as much. Now that it is everywhere, I have lost my taste for it.
