Like many people, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale was my first taste of good beer - probably back in 1989 or so. In 1990 or 1991 I saw an ad for the Dawson Street Pub and started to find out what good beer drinking was all about. In 1992 I drove cross country and ended up a McMenamin’s Edgefield in Troutdale OR. We ended up bringing back about 2 coolers of west coast beer back to Philly. I started homebrewing about the same time, and though I do it less frequently now, I still enjoy it occasionally. My soon to be wife is also developing a good taste for beers, which makes travel a lot of fun - we also plot out a few good micros or beer bars and carry an extra cooler in the car to bring home our trophies.
