Two questions: What's your favorite beer right now and what was your thought when you first tried beer (and your age).
Of course most people, as far as I know, disliked beer upon their first taste, and for most people, as far as I know, tried it during their mid-teens, which means their pallet was quite pre-mature anyway. I personally don't acknowledge the average teen's opinion on most things, but their opinions are valid on some level I suppose.
I recall tasting it for the first time and thinking how awful it tasted. I used to ask my mother why she would ever drink it (she drank a beer once in a while, mostly wine coolers for the old lady) and she'd tell me it was an acquired taste. Well that was garbage for me at the time and thought it ridiculous.
Fast forward a decade and all I've had to drink tonight was beer! Victory Storm King, to be more exact, and not to mention my present favorite. Why is it my favorite? Well, first of all upon recieving said on Draft, which is how i prefer, you will notice it's darker then a guiness...which anything darker then a guinness I need to try which is how i fell in love with it. I'm not into that girly crap that's easy to down like a nice loaf of white bread. Ah, yes. I'm also quite fond of some hefeweizens, Amberboch, and Dogfish Head. Pretty much anything above 15% alchohol I will absolutely try and most likely fall in love with it. Though I must say the bottled Hop Devil is not so great for me.
Anyhow, please, tell me, the answer to my questions!
Cheers.
