Any beer drinkers?

Sadly, beer is now "special occasion and only one" for me now ... I love craft beer, too, and will go without rather than drink crap.0

I agree about it not really hindering progress, if you keep everything within your calories. I've been splurging way too much on craft beer among other things over the holidays (i.e. NOT within my calorie goal!!). I will still enjoy them on a weekly basis but will definitely be limiting my intake!
... and I am also on Untappd... unique beer count at 862! HAHA! I'm not sure if I should be proud or ashamed of that number :P Whenever my husband and I travel, we love to hit up whatever local breweries we can.
I'm Gl110197 on untappd if anyone wants to connect.
I was fairly happy with my 443 distinct beers and 627 check-ins, but @eganita has given me something to shoot for!
HAHA!!! Well I have been on there since March 2013, so it will be 3 years on there soon! Maybe I joined it earlier than others? I also do count a beer if I've just sampled it in a flight.. to me, that is enough to make a rating!! Some people frown on that though!

I would say Southern Tier, Tröegs, Victory, Sierra Nevada, and Lagunitas are among my favorite more well-known breweries. I live right outside Pittsburgh, PA, and I've been really pleased with our growing brewery/beer scene.. I'm not sure how far some of those brews are distributed, though (a fair amount of them don't bottle/can at all). Voodoo is one of my favorites from this area.0

Flight sampling is the way to go! Or going to a festival, and knocking off 20+ new beers in a day (except by the end, everything is fuzzy, and nothing tastes the way it's supposed to).0 -

I love flights!!! It's helped me get into different styles of beer and branch away from IPAs (my favorite!). Good point about festivals! They can be really fun and a great way to try a lot at once.... though I agree - sometimes I get myself in trouble with trying TOO much! I try to stick to only one or so of those a year now 0 -
One of my good friends is a home brewer turned professional (his brewery opens today!), and visiting breweries, brewfests, and running races put on by breweries (Dogfish Head and Two Roads) are some of my favorite activities. I am drinking way less beer than before I started counting calories, but I try to work in a beer several times a week because I would be very sad without them.0
-
I enjoy craft beer, but I do drink less of it than I used to, even in maintenance. I probably have 3-6 beers per week these days. When I was losing I had maybe one per week. I drank more spirits when I was losing and have also gained an affinity for red wine since reducing my beer consumption.0

I am also on untappd! 589 distinct beers and half the time I forget to check in beers - haha. I think my husband is at almost 1000 and I've tried almost every beer that he has - I just don't always check them in, although he does.
Beer is one of the reasons that I need to lose weight. I drink way too much beer. I also homebrew. I've got a few batches piling up and I can't even drink it because of this stupid diet haha.0 -

Nah, that's legit. I do it at festivals too. I lol'ed when Untapped gave me the "Take It Easy" and "Top of the Mornin" badges at the Great Taste of the Midwest this year!0 -

HAHA!! Nice. Some of the badges are pretty funny. I get a kick out of the "Drinking your Paycheck" one too.0 -
On Untappd here! Having a travel companion to share flights with really helped the distinct beer count. My husband was just over 1,000. I'm at 834! We made it a goal to collect to level 10 of the badges while traveling in New Zealand (which is saying a lot, the beer there was not, um, great. But kiwi badges were fun).0

My company is the distributor for Ballast Point in Colorado!
It's been hard keeping the weight off since I started working for a distributor, especially in the winter, but I'm working on it.
You should try the Habanero Sculpin if you can find it. Mixed with the grapefruit is pretty good.

I brew my own beer, so I have beer on tap at all times. I am also a member of a local bottle shop's "beer of the month" - so I get at least 4 commercial brews every month. On top of that, all my friends are brewers, so I have their beer too. This is why I need to lose 20lbs...0

I had a friend tell me I would need to stop drinking beer to lose weight, lol RIGHT0

This is me (or rather, my brew club) on Untappd: https://untappd.com/user/RaleighHBA.0

I love craft beer! We probably have over 100 different kinds in our cellar that we've picked up along our travels this year.
I'm getting close to checking in my 1000th beer on Untappd. I'm at 938 now. :-)0 -
My problem with Untappd is that I keep forgetting to check in. Too busy enjoying the beer and spending time with friends. But I am at 599 with 464 unique.

I like to brew my own, have 4 taps at home (all dry right now) as well.0 -
Imagine my delight to find this forum! I love beers too much to give it up and I have been trying to lose my beer belly. Glad to know there are beer lovers who are trying to stay fit0
