Rarely does someone’s love affair with beer begin with brews that are considered top-shelf. First beers are often old standbys that took up space in the family fridge and vacation cooler year after year. And sometimes, that affordable 6-pack is exactly what is needed for a backyard barbecue or tailgate. These cheaper beers don’t just carry a lighter price tag — they carry nostalgia and memories, and some of them are also just pretty damn good.
