What beer got you into craft beer?

St Arnold Icon Blue: Brown Porter. Still holds a special place in my heart even though I can never have it again. The one that sent me over for good was Carlsberg Mermaid Porter. Opening the bomber this holiday to celebrate with my daughter whom brought me one back, love that girl.

 

Allagash white.

 

Sam Adam's Boston Lager --> Fat Tire --> Boulevard Wheat

 

HopDevil

 

Sam Adams Boston Lager and then Pete's Wicked Ale. After years of watered down keg beer these beers were a godsend.

 

Saranac Golden Pilsener

 

Stone ipa for me

 

It was SA Boston Larger, ordered instead of my usual Bud, never looked back, however i still enjoy a Bud.

 

My first brew was PBR, the next was a bottle of St. Pauli Girl, and the next was Beck's Dark....I've been ruined ever since.

Note----each was a single bottle, not multiples of each.

Cheers

 

Honestly Newcastle. It was sweet and tasted better than BMC stuff. After that I figured might as well try something different rather than drinking same stuff over and over again. And it's really easy to drink the same stuff over and over again because I work at a grocery store 10 minutes south of three floyds.

 

Zombie Dust was the first real craft beer I had and I havent looked back since

 

New Belgium Fat Tire. Was all the craze several years ago in CO then it came to IN. After that it snowballed into a craft addiction. Hahaha.

 

Oh hi, another one of these threads. I may have even posted in this thread earlier but I'm not even gonna look. For me it was Left Hand's Milk Stout on draft. That was all it took.

 

For me? It was a local nitro- Irish dry stout. Mill Street's Cobblestone Stout.. it was a good replacement for Guinness on tap, and I also enjoyed St. Ambroise's Oatmeal Stout as well. Around 5-6 years ago now.

 

Drinking on that Blue Poon

 

Zombie Dust. A kind soul brought it to my local watering hole and shared it with some of the patrons at the bar. Was a great experience that got me into a hobby I love.

 

Pete's Wicked and Sammy's Boston Lager. Can't tell which was first but both were my introduction to "real" beer. Anchor Steam was in there too but I feel they were a bit later for me.

 

In either 1997 or 1998 a Victory Hop Devil, before that I think it was in 1993 a Yuengling Lord Chesterfield Ale

 

i had a few pretty good beers before it, but the one that really got me interested in craft beer was bourbon county brand stout 2014. Brought it home for Christmas and it was a huge hit.
