Finally of age!!! Beverage suggestions?

[z31maniac]

Don't we have a beer thread?

That said, Green Flash and Stone are two of my favorites in the country. Prairie Ales here in Tulsa another fave.

However, it will likely take you a while to develop a palette that likes any of their stuff.

I love yuengling. I just didn't mention it because it probably isn't available in his state considering they only sell it in like 13 states.

Hey, you learn something new every day.

So, you're 21 and just now starting to drink? Whaaaa? When I turned 21 I just started to use my actual ID to drink.

If that's the case, you might not like the taste of any beer for a while. It took me a while of chocking down Natty Lights in high school before I got to the point of liking beer, then I expanded my tastes from there as I got older. I've kinda gone full circle in my beer drinking. I used to only drink cheap watered down light beers, then I got huge into IPA's and heavy beers but now I'm back to drinking beers that are on the lighter side again (but not the cheap watery beer).

One to consider that nobody has mentioned is Yuengling. Traditional Lager that's easy to drink. That was a beer I was very fond of when my taste in beer started to evolve, but haven't had in years.

I definitely wouldn't recommend an IPA for a first time beer drinker. Beer is my drink of choice, IPAs are my go to. In college I lived about 10 minutes from Lagunitas (whatup sonomabimmers!!) and was there all the time, which is why I love IPAs so much. That being said, they are definitely not for someone just starting to drink beer.

Like has been said before, start with something lighter (and by that I mean color). Hefeweizens, and other wheat beers are a good place to start as they will have some taste but nothing near as shocking to your system as an IPA.

Lost Coast Brewery's Great White was my first favorite craft beer, that might be tough to find in Kansas though. Find your nearest brewery (that's not a huge macrobrewer) and go in and order a flight. Tell the bartender you are just starting into your beer journey and tell them to set you up.

Let us know what you end up liking!

Lagunitas brethren above me basically said it best just go drink.

Just get yourself a bottle of Aftershock, throw on some Cool Water cologne, and get set for a party..

Laugnitas ipa or really any lagunitas are great. also lost coast breweries beers. i live 20 mins from lagunitas and its my favorite beer. from your description Ipa sounds like your winner tho. i hate light beer and fruity beer as well. but as stated by i think stonea here. go find a tavern or pub with a bunch on tap get some tasters try it all get wasted and figure it out.

lol @ Americans offering up beer advice.

come to Canada for a heartbeat if you want real beer.

/thread.

Yea, and you can go broke in the process.

[stonea]

My advice is find a nice bar and go there once a week with friends and try a couple of different beers every time. When me and my friends all finally turned 21 we found a bar that had 42 beers on tap and would meet up every Thursday and try a a couple of new ones. We quickly learned what we liked and what we didn't. I personally usually go for Sierra Nevada, Devils Backbone, or Guinness.

come to Canada for a heartbeat if you want real Maple Syrup.

Just wanted to let you guys know that as of yesterday, I'm of legal age to drink Here's the thing, I hate light beer. Never had many others. My girlfriend thinks I'd like corona. Suggestions for what I can start trying? I need to find something other than captain and coke.

If you want to get into good beer, wheats/hefeweizens are the best way to start. Blue Moon and Shocktop are good starters. Then from there, the sky's the limit. If you're interested in IPA's, I'd suggest starting with some session ones. Founders All Day IPA is really good, but if you're lucky enough to find Oskar Blues Pinner, go with that.
