Absolutely no interest in any of the cheap beers, since day one, must be fussy taste buds. Early on, when younger, and consumed in higher quantities, once those taste buds were inebriated, there was always a headache, gastro-intestinal disruption or what have you, even sinus headaches. If I drank similar quantity of a craft beer, none of that happened.

When I was a kid, there was always a beer (key word=A) allowed if I wanted, at appropriate times, my grandad started that, a sip at a time, it was always about taste. All through my teens, and young adult life, I would seek the best beer I could find when I wanted some, I used to fool the cashier without an ID and it was not about intoxication, (could do that easier with liquor), always about taste, after hard work in hot weather, cold water first to take up the slack in the thirst, then later a pleasant tasting beer.

Throughout the later years, what great timing, craft brewing finally comes back and is thriving now, and all those wonderful beers, we live in good times. Prohibition, then mass production ruined the brewing industry. Mass production pushed sales, cheapened the beer by using rice, (WWII?) and what have you, and even today I laugh when one of my friends parents are offered a beer from one of us, ("don't give me any of that funny stuff" = craft beer) However we have converted quite a few from bud, miller and similar, and they admit how good they taste, sometimes you have to try something new.

I just could never enjoy meister brau, old milwaukee did taste ok to me at one time, Genesee wreaks havoc on the system, PBR's back in the day were ok, some were tolerable when ice cold and some were just shy of being decent pilsner or lager, but then all these great craft brews matured into the most enjoyable beers, and some at first had terrible aftertaste's, one local place had a wheat that tasted like anbesol ! Took some time to develop, been good a long time.

I'm a Harpoon fan, they have nice seasonals, 100 barrel offerings, where they brew from all kinds of recipes, been to their Windsor VT brewery several times, met one of the owners locally at one of their sponsored events, its a great brewery with like minded happy people who put effort into making the best they can.

Absolutely cannot drink large quantities any more, and I never really did anyway never liked a strong buzz, after effects and so on. Moderation works the best for me. It was always about taste, a frozen celtic or similar glass, and a good meal, most times its just one, so it will be quality, summer time might be 2 or 3 after a long hot day and after drinking adequate water.

Well, did not mean for this to get that long, one of the few things I do enjoy is a quality, good tasting (to me) cold beer in frozen glass, love to talk about it too.
