Where did it all start?

I first started writing in May 2006. But it really all started in 1992. I was 12 yr. old. and like most kids this age I was curious. I still have the first bottle from the first beer I ever stole from my parents. Molson Canadian Lager... mmmm. Actually, I am pretty sure I spit it out and poured the rest down the drain. But I kept the bottle hidden thereby officially stating my bottle collection.

The other addition is Rolling Rock Extra Pale. In the Summer of 99 myself and 4 really good friends knew that life was forever going to be different as we all were headed different directions for college. We spent the weekend getting drunk, checking out shooting stars, and speaking in philosophical Socratic overtones at Keuka Lake campgrounds in NY. Rolling Rock was a beer of choice. The one I kept still has the black burn marks from the fire pit. After all these years...almost 10, some of us are still friends and some not so much. But I will always remember those times and the great friendships we were fortunate to have.

Hi daddy!

Nice list. I'll have to get busy sampling some of your favorites. I just finished that 6 pack of Carolina I got there almost 2 months ago.
