I don't know whether it was the shame of publicly drinking a Mike's Hard Lemonade or growing up with a beer-snob dad, but shortly after turning 21, I was determined to take a liking to beer.
I saw the famed and affordable college party beers as nothing more than piss-like and, aside from reading the different bottles' labels, I didn't enjoy anything about my dad's chosen brews. No matter what I tried, I seemed to always wind up looking like the bitter beer face guy.
Then, last spring a friend introduced me to Blue Moon. The pale ale and Belgian white catered to my inexperienced pallet and, little did I know, provided a good foundation for a developing brewmaster.
At the time, I couldn't even have told you how a pale ale or a Belgian white compared to other brews. Then, after a fall break trip
to the Napa Valley of beer, Colorado, I had a crash course in handcrafted brews. I learned about lagers, ales, wheat beers and hops. This equipped me to navigate my way through the make-your-own-six-pack area at the liquor store, which further grew my affinity for beer and my bottle collection.
My beerventures taught me that even though beer requires only four standard ingredients (water, malt, yeast and hops), getting the taste just right requires a lot more understanding and patience. Homebrewers know this best. For more on homebrewing and what goes into a handcrafted beer, check out Bre's story on page eight.
Just two weeks after my trip to the Rockies, I drank (and even enjoyed) a Guinness Stout with my dad. And after that, I don't know if I'll ever consider drinking a sugary malt beverage again.
