First one was Lager, my uncle ( not with us anymore ) bought me a pint in a pub in Rhyl down near the fair, the Ship or Schooner it was called.
2 pints and I was pissed as a fart but I was only 11 at the time.

Underage. A pint of bitter in one of the many pubs in the streets off Claremont Road up near the Oxford Road end.
Legally was in the Fallowfield.
Nothing ever tasted like those first bitters again.
Now I'm 65 it's clear liquids only - gin or white wine.

First pint I drank JW Lees Lager in the Cotton Tree in Middleton.
First pint bought was Lager & lime in the Assheton Arms (the ash ) Middleton same night ended up spewing my guts up out side the Dusty Miller.

St Kents Social Club (Fallowfield) 1991.
A midweek evening after school in the early Summer.
Had 4 pints of Fosters, as did the 2 lads I was with, who were also enjoying their first 'night out'.
Absolutely fucked out of my mind.

The Fal was a top boozer.

Cider, could've been Strongbow but possibly something else as it was 1983. A guy at the bar commented to me that "you are what you drink, so you're headless".
Probably went on to Carling Black Label after that. It was a pub that had one brand each of cider, lager, bitter, stout and mild. Not like today.
Stout.
Proper old skool geezer's drink.

In the Parkside with a few mates (all of us well under age) after a midweek reserve game in late 1965. I'm not sure what the bitter was but it may have been Wilson's. (That was my only visit to the Parkside). I couldn't wait for it to go down. I don't have that problem now. Funny how tastes change ;)
Many a top pre and post match sesh in the Parkside.
Top pub.

Sadly, I think it was a pint of Greenalls. Like losing your virginity to your sister.
Waiting for the inevitable 'you know the rules' post ;) ...............
