The first time I had Alpine Nelson and the last time I had Alpine Nelson... RIP Nelson

That beer changed IPAs for me when I first had it... Don't remember when that was but that's it.

Nowadays, the beers that taste best are post surfing beers with a buddy at Pizza Port. There's always a good pale or IPA on at Port...
 
Jester King MvB at the source for the initial release.

Me and a car full of buddies made the drive down from Dallas for the 1st Saturday that MvB/CdT was available to be picked up. The format of that release made for a relatively calm day. We enjoyed great weather and they had MvB, CdT, Biere de Merlot, La Vie en Rose, etc... on tap. My buddy did a photo shoot for them, so we got to sit around and talk to Jeff and Ron a lot that day as we drank.

After 6 solid hours of drinking great beer in beautiful weather, we all left, satisfied with our single bottle allotments of each completely sober and wishing more releases could be like that...

Nevermind... Best beer ever... Just finished driving 10 hours with two kids in the car and this 3 month old Booming Rollers is is amazing... Amazing
 
BFM XV is the greatest beer I've tasted to date. But you won't like it. Leave it on the shelf.

Depends who I drank it with, if I collaborated in the bottle trade. And the type of food that was served with it or after.
 
1997 Drie Fonteinen Oude Geuze. It had two completely different yet pronounced flavor profiles that I've never tasted combined before. Blast of raw honey upfront as it effortlessly bridged toward a massive barnyard funk finish. LuxWanderer and I bumped into each other at the Drie Fonteinen shop and decided to grab a beer together with my sister at the 3F restaurant. This was our choice.
 
Original 04 cognac lambic brewed in 03 was the best tasting beer I think I have ever had. **** was amazing
 
Sharing a KBBS with friends while sitting on the patio at TG during the Morning Delight release was pretty cool. Going over to biglobo8971's and having a 3-man share of SR71, a crowler of Wide Awake, and a growler of DBH on a random Tuesday was a pretty neat experience too.
 
Funky Buddha Morning Wood I would have to say is at the top of my list right now. It was just about perfect in every way. Opening my last bottle at a share this weekend. It's going to be sad when I open the cellar and don't see that bottle looking back at me.
 
Hair of the Dog Matt.

I've had it at least a dozen times, every time I wonder if it will live up to how I remember it. Especially after I've been able to try things like BVDL, SR-71, Lente, etc... I figure Matt will be overshadowed by them. But then I go back to Matt, take the first sip, and its the most perfect, complex, sweet, smokey, chocolatey, leathery, oaky liquid I've had.
 
Bottles of Coronitas and Ceviche on the boat in the Gulf of Mexico after swimming with Whale sharks on my honeymoon. Hands down #1 beer of all time, that Corona was ******* perfect.

Runner ups:
Westmalle "Half & Half" at Trappiste Cafe in Malle, Belgium.
Goose Island's Test Batch #2 of Green Line poured from my Kegerator (it was my first ever keg.)
Founders Harvest Ale 2006 or 2007 in my kitchen a few months after Kim and i moved in together.
