First Post: My Beer Journey

My adventures in beer drinking began when I was in college. Like many young adults in America, I ordered an American light beer in a bar for my first alcoholic beverage. The beer was rather insignificant, but the bar opened a new door for me. After a few months of frequenting the place, I discovered that there was a beer club. The goal was to drink every kind of beer that the bar offered, both draft and bottled, and you would get a free T-shirt. They had about eighty different beers, so it ended up being a pretty expensive shirt, but that was the first time in my young beer-drinking life that I had stepped out of the mainstream and into craft beers. Granted, there were some pretty lousy options (Zima comes to mind), but having other choices other than the typical Bud Light/Miller Lite's of the world was refreshing and exciting. Unfortunately, I was living in rural Ohio at the time, and craft beers were few and far between. I was going to have to do some traveling if I wanted to find more quality beers.
