1980's - Start off drinking Budweiser. Become friends with a guy who grew up in Germany. Only thing decent we can get in our small town is St. Pauli Girl (at least we can get dark) and Little Kings. For some reason I switch to Michelob.
Early 1990's - In Nashville, TN I work with a guy getting into homebrewing. We visit a microbrewery downtown, I stop on the way home to the same small town to pick up "interesting" beers (mostly Sam Adams).
Late 1990's - Work at home, start doing all the grocery shopping while the wife is pregnant. Continue to buy "interesting" beers in Columbia, TN Kroger (mostly Sam Adams varieties and St Pauli Girl).
2000 - move to Huntsville, AL. Discover Great Spirits. Begin buying real imports (Bass, Franziskaner, Scotch ales, etc. A large mix of truly excellent beers I can't remember.)
2002 - Begin homebrewing. Start making excellent beers and stop buying imports.
2005 - No longer homebrewing, move to Orlando, FL. Start back buying import and craft beers.
2012 - Now. Still not homebrewing, but building a kegerator. Still buying import and craft/small brewery beers.
