April 7th - Beer Day

Growing up with American Lagers, figured those were the norm in beer.
Knew there were European beers like Heineken, but not to my taste.
Then I had my first real taste of British ales, using a 'half-pull' in a pub.

After a Fuller's ESB, it's hard to drink a Bud or the like again.
 
There's a bottle of Guinness that's been sitting in the fridge since Christmas, not a beer drinker anymore. That said, I will have a wee dram of Scotch or Irish whiskey now and again.
 
I haven't drank beer or any alcohol since 2013. When I did drink beer, it was never American beer. It was always German beer. My ancestors were both British and German, so I guess it was natural to drink both St. Pauli Girl (beer) and Twinings (tea). 🍻🍵
 
Three pints of light beer sure isn't the same as the "Flatbranch Brewery" beer. They had something like 25 different kinds of beer they brewed and it was STRONG! :)
 
I have the Utica Club character beer steins. They are on the top shelf of this display case. Schultz, Dooley, The Countess and Officer Suds.
