    My dad let me take a sip of his Miller High Life when I was 7 because I asked him what beer tasted like. I took the sip and said "Ugh, why do you drink that stuff?!"

    7 years later, my buddy and I stole a bottle of Negra Modelo from my dad to split, and we didn't even finish it.

    As far as my first beer is concerned it was Bug Light...as for a craft beer, the very first one I tried was Dogfish Head 90 minute IPA. Since then I never turned back.

    Probably Bass , took a swig from my Dad's bottle. Didn't enjoy it much but I was probably about 6 years old at the time.

    My dad would give my brother and me sips of his beer when we were 6 or so years old. Back then my dad drank Falstaff, Olympia and Miller High Life so one of those was most likely my first beer and I always liked the taste:slight_smile:

    First beer without adult supervision was a Hamms and a Bud my buddy and I snuck out of a cooler during a Lions club picknik when I was 12.

    Probably Budweiser or Miller. Something that tasted really awful. :astonished:

    First beer I ever tried was a Busch of some kind at Busch Gardens, Florida. It was 1971. I was 6 years old and on vacation with my mom and her boyfriend. I was curious about their beer so they let me have a tiny sip. I promptly spat it out on the sidewalk, to much amusement of the adults.

    Several other run-ins with macro pilseners by my mid 20's had turned me off to beer completely until I got turned on to craft beer in 2000.

    First beer ever wow, probably a XX or Negro Modello stolen from my dad, or something like Natty Lite or bud out of a keg at a party.

    Golden monkey when I was about 15. Turned me off of beer for a loooong time. Now I can't get enough of it.

    Although my first beer was Neer Beer when I was 10, my first "real" beer was when I was 14, which was Busch beer.

    My first beer was Billy beer, a friend and I found a 6 pack someone had stashed in a stream to cool. The stuff was nasty, so we shot the rest of the cans. They explode pretty good when you shake them first. At the time, I had no idea how valuable they would become.

    First beer I had more than a sip of was Natty Light from a keg at a college party when I was in high school. Start of a hell of a night, and I ended up going to that school.

    I can't remember which, but it was probably one of the Japanese rice lagers at a Japanese restaurant.

    Schmidt's (of Philadelphia) in the late 1960s. No craft beer back then, and even if there was, probably could not have afforded it!
