[SkaredShtles]

Ballast Point makes some tasty brews:

Sculpin IPA
Big Eye IPA
Dorado DIPA

Hmmmmmm,

For those of you 40 and something older folks (sounds reminiscent of a recent thread), what was your favorite college age beer (or where ever the heck you were in the 80s or 90s before all the craft beers):

Sounds really pathetic now, but back in the day:

1) Keystone Light
2) Coors (yes the gold can "banquet beer")
3) Old Milwaukee

High School: Strohs
College: Milwaukee's Best

I discovered micros in college (Kalamazoo) - Bell's Amber Ale was an epiphany as well as a gateway beer. It sent me down this dark, dark, delicious road.

New Castle and Killians for me in Roanoke VA. We had a craft brewer when I was underage but it went out of business gegire I could drink there. I don't think I've had either of those beers in the past 15 years.

I had my share of Strohs in the day. As well as MGD. Then, when I stared getting high brow I'd get Michelob Dark.

I had Tree Shaker this week. .....

Many a good summer afternoon without micros:

Before microbrews, I drank the best sellers and cheapos that everyone else did. Spent a summer in Denmark between Jr and Sr years of college and found I really enjoyed drinking Carlsberg beer. Tried some of that when I got back in the states, and found out it wasn't remotely the same beer. Used to buy Molson Golden a bit as well since I thought that was a bit better than Bud, except 1/2 the time I bought it, it was skunked. Must be the green bottle or something?

Sam Adams was a fave as well. Have known about that one for quite a while.

So I have Untappd which is like facebook for beer geeks. I have logged some 240 unique beers in the last 18 months. That is an average of a new unique beer once every 2.3 days.

Still is for me, actually. It seems I only ever drink it at airports, however, because it's typically been the only decent beer airport bars have ever had (until recently that is).

"Back in the day," though, I remember lengthy debates over which beer was superior: Mich lite, Bud lite or Miller lite. But I grew up in northern Florida where fried oysters are considered classy.

Now-a-days, I've obviously evolved to a higher level. This summer, I say screw peak lists, how about a IPA tick-list; I've already had eleven of these. Got me some searching to do.

or 70s, Coors Banquet. Literally lived right across the street from the brewery for a semester. 'Short' tour almost daily.
