World Trade Center Boston
I had my first beer when I was in Sixth grade. It was a Leinenkugel on Oak Street Beach in Chicago. My second beer was a Budweiser later that day at a friend’s house. With beers like that, it is no wonder that Gordon’s vodka with an Orange Slice chaser was my drink of choice through most of my adolescent years. It wasn’t until I was 18 that I had my first Guinness. That was the starting point of my love of beer. (I haven’t touched any Gordon’s since that day.) When ever I come across an unfamiliar liquor store or find myself in a bar, I always want to try a beer that I have never had before. Sometimes, this habit is a waste of cash since not every microbrew is a good beer (and some are just horrible tasting). Since I hate wasting money on a crap pint, I can’t wait to taste about 300 different beers from 75 different breweries at the American Craft Beer Fest. The $40 admission might seem like a lot, but 2oz samples of 300 beers comes out to about 37 pints of beer. So, at just over a $1 a pint, this is a great way to sample beers for dirt cheap. Just make sure that you eat a big meal before drinking and that you leave your car at home.
