Yards brawlers and victory golden monkey in the same night. I remember sitting on the couch after a few golden monkeys wondering what the heck just happened.

I spent 2 weeks near Chico California a couple years ago and went to a party where they had a keg of Sierra Nevada pale ale, prior to that I didn't really care for beer.
 
So back in high school did a little bit of partying and all we ever drank was always miller high life, pabst, ice mountain.. Basically anything that came in a 30 case. I remember it always being hard to drink and I would have to force myself to drink it. At the time I was working at jewel osco (I live in Chicago btw) and I would see this yellow case of beer that people would buy all the time. 312 wheat ale is all it said on the case. I was very intrigued. So I convinced a couple of my friends to get a case of it. At first they looked at me like I was crazy. Why spend 15 bucks on 12 pack when we can get 30 beers for the same price?!? The first sip was magical. Didn't taste like any beer I had ever tasted before.. It actually tasted good and was very enjoyable unlike the dirty thirties. This made me want to try all of goose island beers and not just their beers but all the beers that I had never seemed to notice before. Till this day I'll have a 312 here and there but I always think how it opened up a new world for me. The world of craft beer.
