re: What was the first beer you ever had?

Don't remember my first beer but I remember my first legal beer. A 32 oz (I think, was a big bottle) shiner bock purchased at the circle k on Brightside. It was about 1230 am and I was peeved they didn't Id me.

Budweiser

Miller Lite Pony at the duck camp when I was 10 or 11.

That question will date most people. My first beer was one of my old man’s pbr back in the early 70’s. Was known as swill by young people then. Went to Rolling Rock as it was cheap cheap and also known as a low brow beer. Then Miller ponies which were popular. Lived long enough to see PBR and Rolling Rock become pop icons with young beer drinkers. Just shows how garish beer is. Give me a good old Schlitz on tap or Bud Light longneck now at 65.

Sam Adams Boston Lager

Not the best choice for your first beer

First sip - Schlitz

First beer of my own - little Miller

Hamm Beer

Schlitz - back in 1973.

I think it was a Red Dog

The only first that matters to me is Anchor Steam, as that was the first beer that opened my eyes to other beers.

Love Anchor Steam. I once got a personal guided tour of the brewery from one of their brewers. Long story. But when he took me into the room where they store the hops, that smell...that’s how I learned where the flavor comes from and what hops are all about. It was an eye opener.
