No, I've had to lay off high alcohol content items since I was diagnosed with CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) in March of last year. Gonna' have to wait for a new kidney until I can swim in Belgian waters again and, even then, it'll probably be in...
First: Pabst Blue Ribbon at a sleepover at Dan's house in eighth grade. Dan was one of those kids you all know, the one who's parents (or in his case, dad) were never really around so their house became a locus for gatherings. We got hammered...
First - Fosters on a night out during a school trip to Paris at 15, we were drinking by the pitcher and somehow I was the only one sobered up by the time we got back to our hotel and not hungover the next day
Last - Coors in a pub near Goodison...
St Bernardus is very nice. Have you had the new range of Belgian NAs? Seen these recently and interested in how they taste.
Also, pulling a random sixer and bought some Gose from a local brewer without reading the label: it was a pickle Gose...
First: I'm GenX, most of us were still in diapers when we had our first sip so I don't remember.
Last: Athletic Brewing 'Free Wave'.
N/A but the worst thing is it's an IPA but I wasn't paying attention when I got it. Apparently they have a...
kinell, just read that BA gives Reve Coffee Stout a 97, and while that's no Pliny the Elder (perfect 100) it's a very high score. Never had any Pliny, never actually seen it, and really don't like IPA, but if I ever get a chance I to drink some...
I've had a very similar experience too A few years ago, we'd been shopping in the sun, when I saw a fellow hotel guest and his family.
We'd had drinks with them as families each evening, so the husband suggested we had a quick drink while the...
Struggling to remember my first pint in a pub, but think it was a bitter in The Unicorn in Cronton (probably Greenall Whitley back then).
My last pint, unfortunately, was a pint of John Smith's last week at a quiz I go to - it's the only bitter...
Some lagers (namely the common brands) are terrible to be fair, but a blanket description doesn't do the good ones justice.
Some of the German lagers are incredible!
Local grocer has a huge selection of 0.0 brews that I've never seen before and these are very intriguing to me. A little shocked that you can brew a Belgian style as a non-alcoholic beer, but I am very much drawn to this temptress below and will...
First: My first pint was a pint of mild my dad bought me when I was about 14 in my grandparent's pub.
Before that, my first actual beer was some cheap French lager with friends when I was about 12, which we had 'acquired' from my mate's house...
First: I think a Leinenkugel shandy I nicked out of the fridge well before legal age.
Best: I don’t drink beer much. I’m more of a cocktail and liquor drinker. I really go for beers that taste like anything except beer. The best of the best was...
