What did you drink before craft brew?

[Quaffman]

Mostly whiskey and rum, but beer wise i drank Killian's irish red and yuengling. Usually went for the liquor though. St Bernardus abt 12 really got me into liking beer though.

 

[teberle]

Miller lite was the staple beer, but some of the standard imports would get mixed in here and there.

Probably more whiskey than beer though, which I still like but 90% of my drinking these days is craft and and homebrew beer.

Bass or becks

Nothing actually. When I turned 21 I purchased a six pack of DFH 60 and loved it. Drained it in 45 mins and went back for more. They ran out so I grabbed Troeg's Troegenator and Stoudt's scarlet lady. Been a hop head ever since. Dabbled with guinness, harp, bass, etc as a youngin. Bass was alright at the time. Just never got hooked like I did with the good stuff. Within 2 months I was drinking Victory's Golden Monkey and V12. After V12 I wanted to learn how to brew.

I knew from dabbling around in high school that BMC type stuff was not in my wheelhouse. The drinking crew in school were always into corona, heineken and some other bs. I got drunk on corona a few times but never really liked beer at the time.

La Crosse Lager, for the most part. It was local, and, thanks to friends who were employed there, it was free.

I didn't. I thought that I didn't like beer for the longest time as all I had ever had was BMC. One day a buddy convinced me to try a Samuel Adams Boston Lager....it blew my mind! Ever since that day I have been drinking craft beer.

30 years ago I drank Old Milwaukee. Sometimes I stepped up to Molson Export.
25years ago I moved to Seattle and drank Red Hook. I eventually drank Deschutes, Hale's, Maritime, etc. oh and sometimes, Rainier. 😃. That's when I started to HB to have some fun.
15 years ago I moved to VT. Now I drink Long Trail, Battenkill, McNeils, and sometimes Alchemist and Hill Farmstead. But mostly HB.

Budweiser and coors lite mainly and whatever they had at whatever party I was at. I then started trying sam adams and the different ones I could get ahold of. Then I went to a bar one night with my cousin that had alot of craft beer on tap I remember I had anchor liberty ale and flying dog pale ale and never turned back after that.

 

[catdaddy66]

Budweiser, Busch, Coors (banquet)... Never any light. When I was introduced to imported beer I usually would drink Moosehead, Fosters, Lebatt's, Dos XX's...

Guinness. For about 12 months from the age of 17 (in pubs, naturally), then straight onto the real ale in the first week of college.
