SN pale ale was the first good beer I ever had, then it snowballed from there quickly!
ckcanady said:I started working for beer distributors when I was 17 but didn't know much about beer. It was a trip to Munich at 19 with my beautiful wife that drew me to brewing beer. I had my first "legal" beer at the Hofbrauhaus. It was their Hofbrau Original München that sparked my obsession. I came back to the states and bought my first homebrew kit from The Homebrew Outlet in Sacramento as a result.
Really??????
DAMMIT.
Poopy poopy crappy guinness. The only beer available at crappy watering holes that isn't a light merican lager.
A business trip to the German countryside. I first ordered "bier" having no idea what they would bring me, then I moved on to ordering dunkel bier. Still do not know what breweries the beer was coming from but is was delicious, american light lager would never taste good again.

Had it for the first time at a kegger a few friends and I had going one summer in HS. One of my friends got a hold of a 6-pack and we split it up. First sip was something of a Eureka moment, and I found it quite difficult to choke down the next Dixie of Keystone Light.
The veil was lifted from my eyes, I had seen the light, and it was magnificent.
