Great memory. You made me laugh. Picnic for me. I hid under the picnic table stealing beers.I can't remember, to be honest. I was about 4 years old and my parents had a party the night before. I got up early, as usual, and found all these unfinished drinks and big opened tins of Badger beer downstairs. I don't think I enjoyed any of them, but I tried quite a few anyway. I've always been open minded. At the breakfast table I was slapping cornflakes on my forehead apparently. Mum freaked out and called the doctor. He soon arrived at the door. After a brief examination he smelt my breath then told my parents I was drunk. He recommended I was put to bed until I sobered up. Apart from that there was the occasional sneaky swig of granddad's bitter down the social club, where he'd turn my lemonade into a bitter shandy, which got stronger the more I drank, the more it got topped up. The first beer I ever made was a 'continental lager' LME kit. Me and one of my school mates made it before his parents got home. We hid it in his garden shed. It was top secret. It was awful. I can still taste it, almost 40 years later. That's how bad it was. Fair play to us, though, we did finish it.
Anybody from New York State and surrounding areas drank Genny Cream , Schmidt’s , Black Label back in the 70’s. Genesee Brewing Co. has great craft brews now and seasonal brews that compare to the best available.Genesee Cream Ale. Still one of my favorites.
Good thing you had the foresight to save the tab for this post.Coors pop top can. I was a sophomore in high school. c. 1973. I pretended to like it.

Ha, I had better luck. My state's drinking age changed from 21 to 18 a few months before my 18th birthday, then switched back to 21 a few years after I turned 21Hmmm, first beer? Probably Miller High Life or Miller Genuine Draft around 1984 or so.
First Legal beer was in September of 1986, I don't remember the brand. What I do remember is that on October 1 of that same year Mississippi's drinking age for beer changed to 21. So I was legal for 22 days, then I had to wait almost 3 more years to become legal again.
Michelob for me also. We were sledding on a big hill about a mile from my home, and it evolved into a big teen party. I was about 13 at the time and was just happy to be hanging out with the "big kids".I think it was Michelob. I never drank in high school, and this was at a 4th of July party in between high school and college (an "adult" party, not like my friends and stuff). I remember drinking it just fine, but thinking "this is beer? What's the big deal?".
I vaguely remember those pull tabs on dad’s cans. I don’t know if it was standard practice, but he always pulled that tab off and dropped it back in the can when he opened it.Coors pop top can. I was a sophomore in high school. c. 1973. I pretended to like it.

Hahaha totally read this thread title wrong.My first beer I brewed was the Brewers Best Double ipa extract kit brewed Dec 26th 2015 after my wife, then fiancé, got me the brewer’s best start up equipment kit. I brewed my second beer, the brewers best imperial stout, by New Years lol. Little did she know how hyper competitive I was with myself to be the best at things and that it would turn into such passion. She loves my beers and is also brutally honest when needed. We still joke that it was the best and worst Gift she could have ever gotten me lol
