Your First Beer

[robster62]

Mann's brown ale, my older brother used to buy me one when the parents were out and he had friends round.

Carrying on from prior posts and at the risk of this becoming a ramble through my (admittedly limited) beer history, Furstenberg Lager! Found this on draught in the student's Union when I started college. Occasionally resulted in missing the 1st class after lunch....

Whitbread Light Ale, an abomination of a beer but my dad used to keep a few cans in the house. Vile stuff.

What’s the first beer you can remember drinking?
I remember my dad letting me have a cheeky 1/2 tin of this while my mum was out at bingo.

Hi! My grandparents stuck some apple juice or something in one of these and stuck nearly one year old me in front of a Christmas background with the can & a straw for their Christmas card. I want to recreate it with my kittens. Any chance you know where I can get a can or the wrap around design for me to print out a cover for another can, please? Thank you!

A pony glass of Guinness.

Possibly homebrew when I'd helped my dad wash bottles. At family parties and bbqs one of these little bad boys were allowed.

Same here, I think I was maybe seven or eight years old when I had my first ever beer and it was one of these.

Possibly around the same time I had a taste of my dad's homebrew, and so it began...

Being 'The thinking mans Lager', that was excellent parenting.

Looking at some of these, I suspect the intention was to put you off beer for life.

Perhaps a better question would be what was the first beer you actually liked, for me I would probably say Caffrey's probably in part because of how smooth and unbeer like it actually tastes. It really wasn’t until I was a wee bit older that I started honestly liking beer that tasted like actual beer.
