What was your first craft beer?

Have to go back to the 80's....Brick beer from Waterloo Ontario.

 

SA Boston Lager

 

Not so sure, Anchor maybe

 

Dogfish 60 Minute, which I think is the perfect introduction into IPA.

 

Sam Adams Boston Lager

First serious craft brew(s) were Arrogant Bastard and Drakes Denogginizer circa 2006

 

Stones arrogant bastard. I was underage at the time and it was all some of my older friends drank. I pretended to like it to fit in with the cool kids. Over time I really warmed up to it and appreciated what it was. It was a wrap from there.

 

Sam Adams Cherry Wheat. Wouldn't drink it now but it was revolutionary (to me) at the time.

 

Dock Street IPA

 

Prob Anchor Steam, Red Oak, or Craggie, just can't remember which was actually 1st. Although Red Oak was my first brewery tour.

 

Boston Beer Company - Sam Adams Boston Lager (tap) (2000)

 

Must be an Air Force thing - 1st for me as well, Anchorage circa 1993 maybe????? Loved Wicked Ale but developed a mild addiction to Pete's Strawberry Blonde. Killed a 6 of it damn near nightly over the course of a few years.....

 

Arrogant Barstard

 

pretty sure it was Rogue Yellow Snow

a friend and I thought the label was funny

then we tasted it

we stopped laughing immediately #barf

 

I'm sure I had a number of Sam Adams and other craft beers before my entry into the craft beer world. I didn't know what I was drinking or that there was even a segment of beer called "craft". However, my first untappd checkin and the beginning of my foray to the world of beer that doesn't resolve to just get me piss drink was BA abraxas....life changing.

 

Boston Lager, Petes Wicked, Toasted lager.

True, eye-opening craft? KBS

 

I too was indoctrinated Sierra Nevada Pale, back in '94...and no, I wasn't old enough to drink it.

 

Allagash Grand Cru, 30 or so years ago.

 

first craft beer i can't say, i was at a major tasting at wants distribution so there was just a lot of samples

 

Anchor Steam - late 80's. Though I didn't know it was craft beer.
