Beers you once loved

Years ago I loved Dead Guy. No idea why. I had one recently and just about gagged.

 

Sam Adams Octoberfest. Basically the first non-adjunct beer I had.

 

Interesting. I find my palate evolving away from the sweetness of DIPA towards IPA... Having said that, I think barely over 8% is the sweet spot for DIPA. I should try this one.

 

Victory Golden Monkey before I discovered some of the better Tripels (Brooklyn Local 1, St Bernardus, Fin Du Monde, etc...)

 

Drake's 1500
Bell's Two Hearted
Lagunitas Daytime

 

I had a couple 90's a week or so ago for the first time in a while and I thought they were among the best dipas ive had

 

I used to drink tons of Lion Stout sixers back in my university days. I won't touch the stuff now.

 

Guinness is forever ruined. One fateful Christmas about 3 years ago saw me inhale one (or three) too many car bombs. I can still enjoy Jameson, thank goodness, but Guinness is absolutely gut-wrenching every single time I've tried it since. I don't miss it even one bit, though car bombs were rather fun.

 

Newcastle
Fat Tire
Hoegarden
Stella Artois

 

Miller light was my piss beer of choice, then I was introduced to craft....

 

That's really funny, because I would have answered the question with 90 minute until last week when I grabbed a 4pk and finished it over the weekend. It's a really great beer that I forget about all the time- thank you Simpsons marathon for rekindling my love.

I guess I would say Guinness though. I can't even stomach it anymore...

 

Used to love Killian's Red. Bought a case for salmon fishing a couple of years ago and almost couldn't finish it.

 

When I first discovered craft beer I really enjoyed Boulder Breweries' Buffalo Gold. I also used to really like newcastle. Tastes sure change over time.

 

New Belgium two below and victorys hop wallop I also loved Michelob and pearl back in the 70 's.

 

I still like Flower Power, but I don't think I like it as much anymore. Could be because of the recipe change, older bottles, or palate change.

 

Unless I missed a post, here's another one from the wayback machine: Straub's in the two way 16oz bottles. I used to haul 2-3 cases back from Pittsburgh to Winchester,Va when I moved there in the late 80's. I still have a few of the waxed cardboard cases somewhere...

 

I used to love Weyerbacher Double Simcoe IPA. As a matter of fact it was one of my first and may be what turned me on to IPA's. For some reason I haven't had it in awhile and the last time I did I don't think I was all that thrilled. I was at Weyerbacher recently doing some tasting and sampled Double Simcoe and that pine aroma and taste brought back pleasant memories.

 

I use to love Fat Tire and Bass. Now those are beers I completely ignore.

 

I once described Brooklyn's Octoberfest as Love in a bottle. tried it the next year and it was average at best. Same goes for the saranac beers.

 

Rogue Dead Guy. Like @teledeluxe, I used to love this stuff, drank it by the pitcher back in the day. Tried one recently and couldn't finish it. Literally left it on the bar and walked away.
