The bad beer experience.

I would have to say that I believe one must experience bad beer to know good beer but also that good is still subject to preference. I myself started drinking beer when I lived on my own, earlier in my college career. At the time, I didn't really have extra cash to spend, nor was I going to spend extra on beer (its all just beer right? So wrong.) so I would just get a 30 pack of whatever was on sale to stock the fridge. I didn't get into craft beer until my dad started introducing me to different styles. I can recall the first time I had a beer with him and tried a scotch ale on nitro, and it blew me away. But, I'll still take a Budweiser black crown over most any pilsner, as I think it tastes better.
