Last night was awesome!!!! Had 3 (5.5oz) pours of Bourbon County Stout, Bourbon County Stout Barleywine and Bourbon County Stout Coffee....YUMMY!!!! Of course, we got there early because otherwise we wouldn't have gotten a seat, so I had a Founders Porter to hold me over before the event started :laugh: And when we got home we split 3 beers.
Needless to say I did not wake up for the gym this morning, so we are planning a nice long walk/hike (at least 6 miles) and no drinks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tomorrow is a different story. We are brewing our pumpkin beer. So our plan is to get up super early, hit the trail and start brewing by 8am....which means beers get cracked at the same time :drinker:
Happy weekend!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
Ooof Thu - 8 beers0
-
you know that plan I had for no drinks last night? well yeah...TOTAL fail.
Tonight will be a 0 tho..There's no booze in the house and I don't feel like going out to get any. That's one way to get a 0!!
Happy weekend to everyone :drinker:0 -
for some reason the raspberry lemonade and vodka I was drinking was really tasty. I had tooo many while watching the game. Broncos won!!!!! I love football and my Broncos. It is Friday so there is no point in saying that I will have a zero. It has been a long week..0
-
I forgot you are Broncos fan, Robyn, I missed the game for anniversary dinner, glad they won!
We split 2 bottles of wine, one before dinner and one with dinner. It might have been a little too much, I feel a little bit hung over today. Planning workout, maybe some drinks...0 -
I totally lied....I'm drinking.... vanilla vodka and locally made root beer, pretty damn good!0

Dear lushes have been quiet. I had a good weekend. Doug and I bought and hauled half the cinder block we needed for our raised planter project. My biceps are sore from moving them from the truck to the back yard and setting the first row. Last night I did something I haven't done for about 17 years. I auditioned for a professional ****ens Carolers group. I haven't sight sung music in about 16 years and I haven't sung in front of people for about 15 years ( I was with a group in LA before I moved up here) the adrenaline rush after the audition was mind blowing. I forgot how it felt. I may or may not get a callback. I will keep you all posted. Needless to say but I downed a bottle of wine when I got home to take the edge off. I hope you all had a great weekend.0

Hey, I'm new to this group. Not only do I like to drink alcohol, I also make it (beer), and I belong to three local homebrew clubs where we all share our latest brews with each other. I don't brew or drink many light-style beers either, all high gravity / high calorie stuff. Some of the beers I brew approach 400 calories / 12 oz bottle, but those beers are around 12% ABV, so I'm not exactly going through a six pack in an evening.
Here is my strategy for dealing with the extra calories from alcohol. When I know I will be drinking in the evening, I'll run a calorie deficit all day, especially for carbs since I count alcohol calories as carb calories. If I'm going to a big event like a beer festival, I'll get in some extra cardio in that morning to help create that deficit.0 -

Nice. I have a Belgian Golden Strong with fresh strawberries and an oak-aged Belgian quadrupel ale that both just got ready. I'm bringing them to share at my homebrew club meeting tonight.Hey Josh!

Oh yeah, left out part of my strategy. If I'm out at a bar that has drinking and dancing, 30 minutes on the dance floor will completely make up for that IPA I just drank.0 -
Welcome josh. It's a good group. Many of whom love their beer.
I went vodka/squirt with fresh watermelon juice last night...1 large.
more exercise today and maybe some wine if I manage to go get some.0 -
Welcome Josh! You will find this group a great bunch of people!
Am up a five pounds what with the son's wedding, eating drinking and merry making going on the past few weeks. :drinker: :drinker:
