I've never been a fan of the macro brews and I've always hated the lagers...
I like Dortmunder's and some black lagers...
I feel like I'm super judgmental of beers without giving them a chance... Today though this has become very apparent... I moved to my current place in July and the corner store 2 blocks down has an impressive array of craft beer... I always avoided the box labelled Session because of the name and the Lager tagged on it... Session!? That's what you call piss beer that gets you drunk at frat parties! But tonight I decided that my new found infatuation with the 'glass can' style bottle had to be satisfied... I looked on BA and saw it had good reviews but being a dedicated Lager hater I wasn't sure... The last beer i bought was the Genesee Heritage Pack(yeah I know my judgement has lead me to great taste in beer ) and the little bottles have me enthralled in some unknown way so I had to try Session...
Phil and I walked to the corner store because he was out of cigarettes and there it was oddly enough, the Session Black, the one I wanted to try despite them only ever stocking the red box before... I grabbed the box and payed my dues and Phil grabbed red stripe(today was his first trip to the LHBS(mead for a first go) so he's trying to try everything beer and 'wine')...
The first sip was magic... It's an everyday beer for me... Like Guinness Extra Stout Light... I find this the most spectacularly misjudged(by preconception) beers I have ever tried... And I wonder why the name and the style should have put me off trying what I could have known so much earlier!
Anyone else ever had this happen? No real point to this thread just wanted to share...
