Before long, it was just ales and just a short time later, it was craft beers. With my palette rather enjoying Smithwicks, I became open to trying some mainstream ales and very different lagers. As a Kilkenny man, it’s only proper that the red ale of home was arguably the biggest turning point for me. I rather strong drink I was well able to handle.Īlongside the pint of plain stood Smithwicks. Jameson and ginger-ale then became the new staple. Brandy and port would be the appetiser, the pint of Guinness my main. It was with the pint of plain came the joy of chasing. Fast forward a couple of years and I could finally enjoy wine with dinner before truly discovering the joy of a pint of plain. With fulltime work came Corona and even Desperados. In college, I started to sample beers, but I found diversity lay between Dutch Gold and Bud Light. My journey through finding an alcoholic beverage of choice had hardly been that exciting. The whole craft beer movement is just a little mad.
I genuinely don’t even know who Sam Calagione is. Personally, I’m only really getting into craft beer so I don’t think there’s anything to worry about. I don’t think I legally have to say that, but it’s sound advice regardless. Some of this is going to sound almost romantic, but remember to drink responsibly. Yet, I sit here now, sipping on a gorgeous double IPA called Ether by O Brother Brewing, preparing to review my favourite craft beer app, Untappd. I would see people obsessing over craft beers and think they were quite silly. We’re maybe talking less than two and a half years ago.
