    Kate, I have no idea. It's from a place called Little Apple Brewery. It's called "Drunken Pumpkin". So, I'm assuming it's a pumpkin kind of beer. My husband claims it tastes like pumpkin pie in a glass....

    Whoa! I leave for a month or two and a group is formed. Took me 15 minutes to find a way to join up. Not used to the group thing. :drinker:

    The fact that there is a message board yet and also this group had me confused for a bit. Oh well think I got it now!

    Rowland's brewery in Chilton, WI has the best pumpkin beer I have ever had. I am not a guy who likes food items in my beer most days so this P beer did not have a shot really. A buddy convinced me to try a little and I was like wow.

    I have since tried any and all I can get my hands on. To me it seems a lot are too nut meggy (is that a word? haha) or cinnamon flavored to be any good.

    Glad you found us Chris!
    I'm thinking maybe we should start a new December thread as well..so that if anyone else is interested they can see us there and and eventually find their way here?
    Just a thought.
    I cannot believe it's almost December..and for those of you who already have your holiday decorations up...

    Kat, I'm am totally not feeling the Christmas decorations this year with my husband being gone but i'm with ya on the tradition thing. My kids would be so bummed if I didn't brake out the gazzilion boxes of memories stashed up in the attic. My family has always gone all out on Christmas and typically my house is a sight to be seen. I'm sure it will be again this year but It's taking a little more time to get motivated than usual.

    bg, My BIL introduced me to my first Pumpkin beer a few weeks ago. I wasn't sure what I'd think of it but it was actually really delicious!s I think his was from Rogue Brewing. That's typically where he gets his micros.

    Chris, I had a hell of a time getting into this group! I found them just fine but couldn't figure out how to join. I had to be invited. Glad you made it though:drinker:

    So I think I need to set myself a limit... maybe 2 a day. I just can't sleep without my husband. I never thought I was so dependent on him but it's really hard not having him there next to me. This is only day 5 of him being gone... I've got 25 more days before I see him again.

    On a brighter note... I have joined Dot in her Flight around the world and am super motivate to loss 10lbs in the next 23 days:bigsmile: :bigsmile: Gotta love a good challenge:drinker:

    -glad you found us Chris.
    -I am not decorating for Xmas this year so I just say Bah Humbug.
    -Congrats to all of you who had zeros. Well done.

    I am having a tooth extracted today so I was a bit nervous last night which led to some vodka. (liquid courage)

    I will post a new thread within the group for December. Maybe I will post a thread to invite any new lushes you want to join us out on the boards too.

    I am now tired, cranky and dreading my dentist appointment this afternoon. oh and I really don't care for my job so it will be a long day.

    Sorry to sound so grumpy, I am just really struggling right now and I feel like a bloated pig.

    I hope you all have a great day.

    Awww Robin!!! Sorry about the stupid job and the stupid tooth!! I hope it goes well!! I am right with you...I am so bloated and I feel so gross!!! I can't wait until this holiday bloat is gone and I feel like myself again! Hopefully by the end of the week we will all feel alittle better. I can't wait to get to the gym tonight and sweat out some of the sodium!!!

    Sunday-5 beers
    Monday-0
    Tuesday-shooting for 0

    My favorite pumpkin beer is Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin and River Horse Pumpkin is pretty good too! Oh and if you can get your hands on a Southern Tier Pumpking do it....its like dessert, but alittle too sweet for me, but 1/2 a bottle does just fine :laugh:

    Monday, 0 drinks, it's official
    Tuesday, 0 drinks, probable

    Today I am going to do more Christmas shopping. I am meeting my extended family in Wi Dells on the 21st and 22nd. So, that means, Christmas is coming a bit earlier this year.

    Robin, with a tooth pulled, looks like a liquid dinner :wink: Remember, not to drink out of a straw after the extraction. You def don't want dry socket.

    Kasi, I can't sleep w/o hubs either :noway:

    Good Luck to all the fly-the-world girls!! :flowerforyou:

    I, usually, don't like stuff in my beer either....but, now, I want to try a pumpkin beer. Dang, you lushes!!! :drinker:

    UGH Robin! I hope your dentist is better than mine..cuz mine sucks hairy donkey balls! But I agree...do NOT drink with a straw...you'll end up in worse shape than you are. Be sure just to gulp down that vodka. :drinker:

    The pumpkin beer was certainly delicious last night. A little too much so....drank A LOT :( Feeling fine today, just a little tired. My new goal is to not drink until Christmas. Well, actually...Dec. 9th I have a Christmas party with my girlfriends, so I'll drink then...BUT after that...not til Christmas! I really hope I can actually do it!

    Sunday - 0

    Tuesday - 0
    Wednesday - will be 0

    =] it's a nice feeling. Looking forward to my birthday Friday. Wine with Mom & Gram then probably a nice dinner with the boyfriend and probably getting all our friends together for a nice dinner & drinks on Saturday.

    I haven't gotten any work outs in this week but also haven't eaten a ton, just been going off of when my body wants food and for whatever reason, it's not often and it's not a lot so it would probably just put stress on my body to work out and burn a ton of calories I didn't eat, especially when I've been running around the house all day like crazy.

    Perhaps tomorrow I'll put in a bike ride though.

    Tuesday-0
    Wednesday-0???

    I really wanted a glass of wine last night, but by the time we finished dinner and cleaned up it was after 8 and we usually head to bed around 9, so I opted out for the evening, I didn't want to chug it just before bed.
    Tonight...maybe, I guess it all depends on my workout tonight and what time we get our *kitten* on the couch. Although it would probably be smart to NOT have any tonight, since I'm still trying to lose the bloat from the weekend............
