    Hey,

    It's pitiful how I moved from rot-gut crack to becoming a beer snob. Here goes:

    -Old English 800, Magnum, Private Stock (young, drunken pre-college, early undergraduate era; late 80s).
    -Bud Dry, Rolling Rock, Michelob, and Michael Shea's (mid to later undergraduate era; early 90s).
    -Guinness Extra Stout, Fosters, Corsendonk, Beck's Dark, Elephant's Red, Steinlager, Yuengling Black & Tan (graduate school era; mid to late 90s).
    -Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout, Guinness Stout Draught, Innis & Gunn Rum Finish, Duvel, Chimay Red; 2000s to present era).

    Peace,

    We get a few different Bridgeport variants down here, but never Blue Heron. It sure was my favorite by far though the year I lived in Eugene.

    Shiner Bock used to be so much better tasting pre-'93 before both the recipe and the bottle shape changed. Oh yeah, back then it wasn't priced as a premium beer. It had the same affordable price as Rolling Rock.

    Beer glory daze...

    Keystone Ice (I know) > Fosters > Corona > Miller High Life > Lagunitas Maximus IPA > Leffe > Original (Brazil related) > Bison Brewing Co IPA > St Peter's English Ale

    I have come to the realization that Modelo Especial in the bottle is the world's great beer.

    This is a much harder question to answer than I thought. I can't even remember most of my favorites--I don't think I was ever that discerning, especially in college, when I had an affinity for shit like Icehouse and Killian's Irish Red, plus the usual assortment of rap-fan 40s. Newcastle took the title for a while. Nowadays it's probably Schonramer Gold, but I'm still not particularly choosy, as there's a wide assortment of beers I'll drink, so I'll just pick whichever one I'm in the mood for.

    When I started drinking beer, guess I was 15 or 16, the coolest beer was Coors.
    Only it was not sold East of the Mississippi, so if anyone ventured West it was incumbent on them to bring back Coors, and if they went to the Southwest, peyote.

    Can't remember what else we drank then (besides Boones Farm) except Rolling Rock ponies. National Bohemian I guess, and Miller.
    When I moved to Oklahoma only near beer was legal, so it didn't much matter.

    Then Henry Weinhardts, Guinness Stout, Heineken, Oly, Rainier pounders (16oz bottles).

    Red Hook ale, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Rainier, Henry's.

    Then in Syracuse, Iron City, Harley Davidson, Rolling Rock, Sam Adams.

    Back to Portland, Henry's.

    Then I quit drinking about '92.

    I forgot Dublin when I used to live opposite the Guinness yard.

    So, yeah. Guinness and Hoynykn. Pub straight from work.

    We had no electricity.

    Looking back, Rolling Rock ponies was my all time favorite.

    I remember looking for other ponies, but no one else had them.

    My brother and I loved malzbier when we were kids, my father would let us share a bottle every now and then.
    In high school I would drink the occasional Sam Adams my mother bought. That and Yuengling Black & Tan were her beer of choice back then.
    College - Bass/Guinness when I wanted to feel fancy. I later developed an extreme dislike of Bass and I don't understand what I thought was good about it. Yuengling was still my go-to budget beer though.
    post college:
    Sierra Nevada
    Brooklyn Lager/IPA
    then I developed this thing where I had a different beer for each bar I was a regular at:
    Brooklyn Lager - Black Betty's
    Stella/Kronenburg - soccer bars
    Corsendonk at a restaurant down the street from me
    Tecate at a friend's restaurant
    whatever Avery they had on tap at Trophy Bar

    after the move to Brazil:
    Serra Malte/Xingu/Provincia at bars
    whatever local microbrew happens to be available:

    Nice setup you have there. One of these days I'll make the investment to jump to all grain.

    Oh, come on.

    No one really likes Corsendonk. That's just a phase like listening to Big Band Jazz.

    In high school it was OE for the dudes and boone's farm strawberry hill for the ladies.
    In college it was a 6-pack of Bohemia and a Super Burrito from Jalapenos.
    These days, it's Tecate when I'm thirsty and things like this when I want to drink:
