so...what was your first lager?

Remember getting drunk on Woodpecker cider at a very young age thinking it was fizzy pop. Beer? Probably Long Life (specially brewed for the can) or Hofmeister. Special mention to ...

On the subject of very strong lager I used to know someone who would shotgun special brew before a night out (rest of us were amateurs sharing a bottle of Thunderbird Red), it won't surprise you to know he was from Glasgow.

hey, did you not see that I was all of 6 frigging years old??? And that my redneck father provided said beer...

jeez...I'm gonna stick a 40 up yo' azz.....

no excuse :P

at 6 year old I knew that was shit :P

I didn't count "take a sip" beer :( I don't even know if I did take a sip of beer tho. My parents don't drink and I wasn't ever around adults who did

The question was what was my first beer, not what beer do I like.

I only drink Miller Lite if it's free... at somebody's house... and it's the only thing in the fridge.

Fooking hell JT, 'The Party Seven.' That's a blast from the past alright. Remember our family parties at my mam and dads where everyone seemed to have one each and always used to spill more on the floor than they drank. :D

Just agreeing with you that American beer generally sucks.

With a few exceptions...

I've heard of Yuengling, but haven't actually tried one. You can't get it down here.

I used to like Sam Adams Boston Lager a lot, until I got shitfaced off a night of those and cheap house shots... now the smell of it makes me want to puke.

Atlanta's Sweetwater makes some great brews, particularly their 420 pale ale.

Given a choice, though, I go for the good imports... Warsteiner, Guinness Extra, Bodingtons, depending on where I am and what mood I'm in.

Like us you probably never had the hand pull bit on the top and used one of them tin openers that punched a triangular hole in the top, do one at each end then use both hands to try hand pour out a few glasses. That caused the mess, when half empty it was much easier!

I remember the PARTY SEVENs and a RIGHT mess they made.But not as much as a MESS as i DID.Bloody hell i won't reveal my first drink but 14 i was a regular at pubs on the outskirts of BOLTON due to the fact that they served kids!USed to drink VODKA and LIME or LAGER /LIME.And PERNOD and BLACK.Glad to say i never got HOOKED on drink.Well MAYBE......but i am REFORMED now.And such a BORING twat now too.......

sorry to disappoint you further, my first "official" one was a Bud, drank it with the guys from my work at age 16 after a football match at North Albany Middle School. Once I was able to get ahold of other kinds, it was the stuff that my dad had in the house, mostly Rainier and Pabst Blue Ribbon. Some of my dad's friend's indeed reminded me a bit of Frank Booth.

I got a better image of the surfer.

Hofmeister for me,aged 14 at our local pub and it cost me £32p!

p.s All american lagers are shite,far too sweet for my delicate european palate! some of my current faves, Carling premier,stella,kronenbourg,grolsh in fact owt above 5% l do!

Oranjeboom Oranjeboom it's a lager not a tune !!!!!!

Surprised that one slipped under the radar. Weren't Party 7's bitter not lager ? Sorry to be pedantic like.

Cheers

Coopers Pale Ale

I did spend my mispent youth at Bob N Barbara's in Philly with their specials. A can of PBR and a shot of Jim Beam for insanely cheap (2 dollars I think?)

Frank Booth sez, "Drink PBR or the candy-colored clown will get you."
