Do you remember your first?

My first craft beer that got me started was Rogue Dead Guy. It was a fun night from what I remember, had a six pack of those and split a bottle of Absinthe with the roommates.

 

Can't decide whether I like your name or avatar more lol. Name.

 

First beer was keystone light,(I know). The beer that got me into craft beers was Brian both by 3 floyds , not a bad choice ... Will never go back

 

First beer ever (besides maybe a sip or two earlier, I can't remember) was probably Natty Lite or something at a random house party freshman year of college. I could swallow it and it got me drunk eventually, so that was enough.

The first beer I truly enjoyed was on a trip to Germany, at the biergarten in the middle of the Englisher Garten in Munich:


It was a liter of Hofbräu Hefe, I believe, and I was astounded that it actually tasted good! I started exploring hefeweissbier a bit (just by ordering one when it was available), but it wasn't until more than a year later that I tried googling for the best hefeweizens and came upon BA. The rest is history

 

My first ever beer I was way too young, Coors. Then spent most of my adult life drinking Miller High Life, MGD, Corona and Sol.
Just a few months back a friend kept telling me to try Belgian. His suggestion was Franziskaner Weissbier, which I tried to shut him up. Not my favorite style but enticed me to try a gift pack of Chimay…oh my! So delicious. Couldn't believe I wasted so much time on BMCs. Now onto IPAs and RISs…life is good!

 

My first beer was Coors out of a shitty keg in my friends basement, I thought it tasted like crap but drank it and got used to it. My first (good beer) was Sam Adams Black Lager. Some noob left them at my dorm in college because he thought they were skunked. Ended up being fresh and perfectly fine. It was delicious then and I still drink it often to this day. My friends and I didn't realize there could be such flavors in beer when we first had some. Soon after I discovered this website and a friend told me about Peche Mortel when I headed up to Montreal one winter. Got it on tap, it was a divine experience. From then on I have been drinking good beer.

 

All I remember is that I finished first and way too fast.

 

Rauchbier Speczial opened my eyes to what craft could be

my first taste of beer was (without a doubt) bud heavy as a YOUNG child and I swore at that point I'd never drink beer when I grew up. Went back on my word in my early teens though with who knows what and later, around the age of 17, I tried Berkshire Brewing Companies "Draymans Porter". The following weekend I had their "Shabadoo black & tan". That was it for me, I've been just about obsessed with craft beer ever since.

 

Used to sip my g-pa's genesse cream ale. He still thinks Piels was the best beer ever. God bless em. Anyways, back in '95 it was all about Pete's wicked, Boston Lager and Cherry Wheat. Haven't looked back since.

 

my first was an alamo
first craft beer was sam adams boston lager when I was 17, I didn't like it at all

 

I had a very similar start except throw some SNPA and Dead Guy in there. I remember desperately seeking out Pete's Winter Brew as if it were the nectar of the gods.

 

Pete's Wicked in '95 was mine as well.

 

My first beer was Heineken. My first craft beer was probably Red Oak, though I don't remember for sure. I know Red Seal Ale and Rogue Dead Guy were also two of the first craft beers I really enjoyed.

 

Upland's triple at DLD 2010

 

Mine was a Little Kings given to me by one of my older brothers.

 

I can't honestly remember my first, which is sad because i'm only 23 but St. Bernardus was the beer that made me think:

"Ohhhhhh... that's what good beer beer taste like"

 

First beer: 14 years old, I found a half empty case of warm Bud by a basketball court near my house. Relocated it to my own personal spot. Drank every one over the next week. Enjoyed not a single sip.

First Craft: Hoegaarden. Didn't even know what craft was. Drank it exclusively for over a year.

First Craft that got me into seeking out new beers: Tie between Sam Winter/Harpoon IPA/SNPA.

 

Guinness and Sam Adams Honey Porter
