So...I'm sitting here watching the Brew Dogs in N. California and am reminded of my first craft beer. They started this adventure at UC Davis with Professor Charlie Bamforth, the "Pope of Foam". Anyhow the first thing Charlie pulls out is a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and all declare it is the "quintessential American Pale Ale", Ken Grossman's "gift to the world". And then James says that Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is the first craft beer and that his world was never the same afterward. Wow! My experience exactly!
My craft beer journey began about 4 years ago. One of my sons had a few SNPAs in the fridge and I had run out of Bud, Michelob or what ever I was drinking at the time so I helped myself to one. At my first taste it was as if the clouds parted and the sun filled the kitchen. WHAT IS THAT???? A second taste confirmed DOOOWAAAAHHHH!!!! Music in my mouth! I could not believe what I was drinking. It was like losing my virginity. I was hooked, for sure.
Four years later and thousands of dollars in brewing equipment, I am fully embracing the craft beer experience.
So...what was your first craft beer experience?
OH, BTW, this is my Post #1
