I remember my first sip of beer. Â I am positive it was 1976, and I was 8. I remember it because I remember puking on a fire hydrant in St. Louis, and if you remember the fire hydrants in St. Louis in 1976, you’ll remember they were painted in patriotic colors.
I threw up on a red, white and blue fire hydrant.
I got the beer from my dad.  He of course didn’t know  it, but it was his garage refrigerator so it’s his fault.  I have no idea why, at 8 years old I felt the need to try a beer, but I’m guessing it was all the patriotic Budweiser commercials that were on everyday.
With another Father’s Day approaching, I’m seeing out beer related events that I might share with my dear old dad, and that you might find useful as ideas for yourself. Â Hopefully this list will grow, and if you are aware of any I’ve missed, please email them to me at [email protected]
