My father was an Air Force Pilot and I grew up all over the world
I can remember him drinking all kinds of beers, but being in the good ole USA as a late teen ager, I was a Miller fan.
One day I walked into a bigger liquor store and they had some San Miguel, one of those beers I had seen my dad drink in the Philippians. So I got a sixer,
It was different, had a fuller taste, next week I bought some of those German beers, a few bocks and a few lagers in the big bottles and sat down and started drinking them for the taste, not the buzz.
That set me off on a mission to taste beer. I started trying anything put in front of me. I discovered ales, I tried everything including malt liquors.
I think it opened me up a lot more than most guys, I appreciate just about every type of beer, I hear guys slam American light, but then when you are at the lake, hey that is the beer to drink.
Anyway, The beer that made me think
San Miguel. Not a great beer, but one that got me thinking
