PBR at my buddy Donnie’s house when we were about 12. His dad let us split a can while we were supervising one of his welding projects.

Can’t remember first beer But remember first cigarette and drink of liquor Me and the ole man was setting on a creek bank watching the red water roll by I was 9 He was half crocked and I thought it was a good time to ask He gave me a hard time about not being man enough to smoke Finally after some bantering back and forth I asked for a drink He laughed and said here Old Crow Turned it up and took a drink like a hot shot LMAO What a dumbass Shiet shot out my nose , some went into wrong pipe Coughed , choked , thought I was gonna die Ole man busted a gut laughing at me Took a few to regroup A little later started about the cigarette again Finally gave me one , a pall mall I think it was After the liquor I took it easy After a couple puffs , Shiet I got this He started saying inhale Arguing I was , he kept telling me I wasn’t Couldn’t understand about inhaling in mouth and lungs being two different things He finally ribbed me enough I took a big draw and got the lunger Again , snot flying , coughing , and choking He had some hearty laughs at a dumbass kids expenses But I insisted Didn’t bother him about it no more for a long time Kenneth

Guess no one here raised in the St Louis area as they have not admitted to their first Griesedieck beer. Best I recall I recognized the Falstaff emblem as I didn't learn to read until I was six years old. GW

I remember splitting a tall boy with Grandma when my parents were out for the evening.

I was pretty young, perhaps 5 or a little younger. It could have either been one of these or a PBR (WV thing). My dad kind of did a beer rotation in our weekly grocery shopping. I don't remember too many specific brands because my share was never more than 3 fingers in the bottom of a glass or cup until I was big enough to sneak some out of the fridge on my own. I do remember Iron City, maybe Stroh's once and some schitt in a mostly red & white can with 'DRAFT' conspicuously etched into it that we would get from Kroger's. Of course it really didn't matter as I got older and exposed to the finer things of the world I came to realize it was all 3.2% crap. Most of what I drink these days are local micro-brews and I have about five growlers at my up north house that make the trip into Fairbanks or Healy with me when they're empty.

My dad made home brew. He would give my brother & I a swig at bedtime, probably to make us go to sleep faster. Later in life I realized the beer he made was pretty good. First time I got buzzed/drunk I was 14. Schlitz beer at a house party around the corner from our house.

My parents didn't drink very much at all, but some summer evenings, they'd send me - age probably five - to the local tavern with a nickel-plated beer bucket. The 'tender would fill it with draft and I'd carry it home. That's how well everybody knew everybody in neighborhoods back then. I never took a sip.
About that same time, Dad visited somebody down the road on the tractor, with me riding along by standing on the spreader bar at the back. The neighbor gave him a bottle of beer as we left, and Dad ave me a big swallow. I vividly recall having something of a hard time staying on the spreader bar on the bouncy ride home! And early girl friend who dad! Was a distributor provided the beer

Yeah. Was sharing Old German or Genesee with Pap before I started school. Drinking beer has never been a big thing.

No idea when it was, young. 95% probability it was liberated from dads beer fridge in the garage so it would have been a High Life.

I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

Guinness. My Irish Grandmother poured me a very small glass of it when I was a kid with a cold.

First time drunk was my moms home made Rootbeer that turned and all of us kids were lining up to drink the stuff. I was maybe 8 or 9 next time Drunk was New Years Eve. when I was 12 Vodka
My First Beer was at the Drag Races i was Probably 19 and it was a Bud. I had 2 more at latter Drags and then got a piss warm one and I have never had another beer in my life after that.
The Hard stuff ya but after High School I limited my self to just sippin and enjoying instead of getting all polluted

It was a neighborhood Keg held in our yard. I was 6 years old. No idea what brand or flavor. Neighbors & an aunt was trying to stop me as I was a little over 6 years old. Dad continued to say it was OK 6 cups in. I was told my mother was up with me all night on the big phone. Never had much use for the stuff since.

Born and raised in Colorado. Had many (hundred, two hundred?) relatives in north eastern Colorado, south eastern Wyoming, German background.
Lots of opportunities to sneak a sip of beer at their homes and huge reunions, even when a toddler.
My parents let us kids have a sip of occasional beer and wine, their philosophy was to let us know it wasn’t a forbidden fruit and we we less likely to abuse it later on. We didn’t.
I remember we took the tour at the Coors brewery in Golden, and at the end they had tables to sit down and get small paper cup samples of fresh brewed Coors. I went up twice to get a cup ... I was prolly 8 years old.

Michelob. My uncle was an Anheuser Busch distributor when it was still a good company.

Been a beer lover ever since.
