Beers you once loved

Tupper's Hop Pocket - http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/3620/2898/

Once my go to beer. Back in the day it was one of the hoppiest beers in the mid-Atlantic. But Dominion Brewery was sold and Tuppers went south from there. A shadow of its self.

 

LOL....Mad Elf. I used to love it but then I went to a friend's birthday party...AT TROEGS...and totally overdid it with the Mad Elf to where even thinking about drinking one kind of gives me a seizure.

That aside, all the crap that I thought was "great beer" years ago. Heineken, Foster's oil cans, etc. I had to quit drinking so I could quit smoking (anyone who's smoked gets this) and after I was successful, I started drinking again and man, the beer world had changed SO MUCH for the better! Yes, I still don't smoke. 11 years now.

 

I used to put away a lot of PBR.

 

Michelob dry and Bud Dry. Doubt they make the Mich any more, and the Bud dry was disappointing after having it again a few years back....er...ah...12 years back.

 

All Belgians. Loved them, especially Chimay Blue and Saison Dupont. Two years ago I lost my taste for all things Belgian yeast and I haven't returned since.

 

And it shows how truly old I am. I even remember drinking them in stubbies.

 

Now I feel old...

 

This is the beer that started it all for me too.

 

Red Dog! Guess I didn't know any better. Also the price tag was right at the time.

 

I've probably drank a train car of Busch Light. Not so much anymore, but I still throw one or two back, occasionally.

 

Samuel Smiths Nut Brown Ale
Anchor Christmas (used to buy it every year, haven't in a few)
Two Brothers Domaine Dupage

Back in the day: Pete's Wicked Ale!

 

KBS what happened between us? Maybe I changed, maybe you changed, maybe we just grew apart.

 

Bud (going pretty far back), Newcastle, Sam Smith Brown Nut, Pete's Wicked Ale, Boston Lager, Harpoon IPA and 60 min. all had a place in my heart at one time or another.

 

Blue moon was the first beer I could say, "hey, this is kind of alright!" Now it's just too sweet and citrusy. I still respect it for getting me started though!

 

I used to love Gritty McDuff's Halloween ale. I would always get a few 6 packs of it and save a couple for halloween night. Last years was a bit of a disappointment.

 

Molson Golden & Yuengling Lord Chesterfield ale. More recently though 60 min just doesn't do it for me anymore and I used to love it

 

Hoptimum.

 

Drank a lot of this back in the late 70's early 80's bar roaming days.

 

Don't bother. Tastes like Bud now

 

Used to love Redhook ESB, Guinness, and Budweiser. About 4 years ago discovered better craft beer. Bud was my everyday beer and Redhook and Guinness were treats, haven't had them for at least 4 years. I had Guinness Export Stout for the first time this past St. Patrick's Day but that's been it.
