Yuengling was the excitement that year, with them opening their Tampa and 2nd PA facilities, they started distributing outside PA. I o'd on it real quick...
I started Import Night in order to create an atmosphere where we could drink and have a good time and not get wasted (besides, we could get wasted on Friday and Saturday). Since a 6 pack of an import was as/or more expensive as a 12 or case of cheap stuff, it was an easy target to pick a country and run with it. Luckily we had an awesome beer store that had a ton of imports/crafts to choose from. Of course, most of the guys wanted Mexico or Canada since they tended to be cheaper, but it worked out pretty good. So this made it easy to try different things.
I think the beer that started me towards liking real beer was Bass Ale...
