The Beers I Drank in College

These are a very brief summary of the types of beers that I drank, and still drink, from my undergrad years. I have enjoyed others, but these are staples.

  1. PBR
        Typical light lager. Perfect for a warm day or a crowded music venue. Taste reminiscent of days at the beach, film crews, houses painted blue, and things you've lost and will never see again.

  2. #9 - Magic Hat
        Pale ale on the tender side of hoppy. Good for small parties and card games. Taste reminiscent of dive bars, private talks in kitchens, dungeons and dragons, and hanging out with people again for the first time in months.

  3. Oberon - Bell's
        Wheat ale with citrus notes. Good for family gatherings and summer holidays. Taste reminiscent of graduation parties, patios with comfortable chairs, teaching euchre, and afternoons stretching into warm evenings.

  4. Dragon's Milk - New Holland Brewery
        High gravity stout. Excellent as the one beer you drink over a night. Taste reminiscent of formal wear, the song you last danced to as a freshman, still knowing all the words, and talking about fencing well after midnight.

  5. Guinness
        Irish dry stout. Good for movie marathons and distant cities. Taste reminiscent of words on the page, couch cushion forts, karaoke, and trying to figure out which episode is next at three in the morning.
