Beer Lovers Unite

Beer is the best thing ever. It is IMPOSSIBLE to fit in a high gravity IPA (or 4) in a 1600 calorie day. I think the only beers I don't care much for are sour beers and very yeasty wheats/belgians.I ♥ beer. Let me rephrase that...I ♥ GOOD beer. I ♥ to go to beer tastings. I ♥ to do brewery tours. Anyone else on this weight loss journey while trying to fit in their love of a frothy brew? What's your beer of choice?
try fitting it into a 1200 calorie day.
Short girl beer lovers of the world, unite.

I am really loving the new Leinenkugels Snowdrift Vanilla Porter, it's super yummy
And Wells Bombardier, omg it's AMAZING!! Very difficult to find, I'm lucky enough to live a few blocks from a British pub and the guys have it shipped over from England.
That sounds delicious! I love Leinenkugel Sunset Wheat, but admit I am not a super knowledgeable beer drinker (yet). I usually get a Miller Lite when I go out because I know the calorie count of it. My bf and I are starting to get into the craft beers and such, but since we live far apart currently, I don't really pursue it much since I'm trying to really be sincere about my weight loss and get a handle on things still.
The Snowdrift Porter reminds me a lot of the Leinnie's Nut Brown, but I think the Porter is more robust and has a slight coffee-ish + dark chocolate after taste. I could a beer now - any beer, it would definitley help the work day go by faster!!!
Beer at work?!? sign me up. I went out with my boss for lunch many years ago and boozed it up. Only because she (yes, SHE) started it. She was cool.
Just wondering why you felt the need to emphasize the word "SHE"? Is it because you think it would be hard to believe that a woman ould be your boss or that a woman would drink on the job? Just found that a little peculiar...
Only becuase in my experience, women in positions of authority tend to be more reserved about drinking at lunch. After work is a different story altogether. Again, this is just my experience.0 -
Oh man i use to drink Budweiser and yingling and many more beers. Have not since i started eating healthy i figured why drink all that beer like u use to if ur trying to get abs? That is not going to work ur going to get a beer belly at this rate lol and i didnt want such thing so i slowed down and eventually stopped. I am not 21 yet though so by then i will have the body i have always wanted maybe better and i may have a few beers at a bar by then..... but no more binge drinking for me. I do miss Budweiser though
We were talking about beer I think you have the wrong thread. 0 -
My "diet" beer for the duration is Yards Brawler, but when I throw calories and cash to the wind, Rodenbach Grand Cru is my favorite brew.
Yesss. I can't believe I forgot to mention Grand Cru. My fiance and I savored some on Thanksgiving (that ****'s so expensive).
And in regards to everyone complaining they can't fit it in low calorie days... don't you guys work out harder to get it?! That's what I do :laugh:0 -
This is my favorite thread. Ever.
Today is payday, and I'll be stopping by the liquor store on the way home tonight. My current faves are relatively local to Chicago, Two Brothers being at the top of the list. Goose Island still has some fantastic choices (thier IPA and Nut Brown are pretty awesome), even if InBev owns them. Great Lakes brewing company does some fine work as well. I'ts nice being near Chicago, nearly every craft brewer can distribute here. there's some west coast ones that don't make it, though, and that makes me sad.
I've been jonesing for some scotch ale, though, so I'll be getting some Belhaven for the weekend.
And I'll admit it. A can of Budweiser on a hot day is still fine by me.
OMG YOU'RE BY GOOSE ISLAND?!?!?! Mail me some 312. I'll pay you a million dollars! :P
My bf is from Chicago and I visited with him in May. So many delicious beers in the midwest..0 -

LMAO! Poor girl.. was just discussing last night that when I was about 19, Newcastle was the most exotic beer I'd had and I loved it. Now I can't stand it. And the thought of all the Keystone I used to down?? forghettaboutit0 -

I love darker, malty beers; porters/stouts and Belgian beers.
A *good* lager goes down well (think Czech/Bavarian).
Currently have some Rauchbier and a bottle of Samichlaus on order :drinker:0 -
Oh I love beer! My beer of choice at the moment is Fat Yak but i am definitely going to go through this thread with a pen and paper to try these other beers that everyone is recommending!
In terms of weight loss, i used to drink 3 times a week on average so i figure once a week is an improvement!0 -
I love great beer! Right now our fridge looks like this...
Anderson Valley Winter Solstace
Troegs's Mad Elf
Breckenridge Vanilla Porter
Ellie's Brown Ale
Founder's Breakfast Stout0 -
In no particular order, my favorites:
Bell's Hopslam
Bell's Two-Hearted Ale
St. Bernardus ABT 12
Stone Arrogant *kitten*
Rodenbach Grand Cru
I've managed to lose weight while still drinking beer. Most of the time that happens on my long run days when I know I still have the calories to burn. And, as evidenced by my list above, I like sippin' beers, so one is about all I need on those days.
Feel free to add me if you want another beer-lovin' MFP pal...0 -
I love beer... right now I love Rahr Stormcloud, Revolver Blood & Honey, Peticolas Velvet Hammer... local craft brews. Lately I've been picking up growlers of different new brews to try.0

I love Shock Top. Depending on which one you get, they're usually less than 200 calories for a bottle. Whenever I go to concerts, that's what I get, mostly because I have to choose between that and Budweiser, and I just can't get into Budweiser.0

Yeah, I had to cut back, but no way I'm going to cut it out!0 -
I love beer! My favorites would be the fall and winter seasonals. I'm originally from Cleveland, so Great Lakes Brewery is a favorite. I'm currently in Colorado, which has a lot of great breweries.
My daily favorites include: Blue Moon, Sam Adams, Killians, Leinkugels, and Newcastle0 -

Shocktop is made by Anheuser-Busch....0 -
I made the switch to Miller 64, and then recently to Bud Select 55. yeh yeh....it's watered down but, had to do something to lower the calories. 0
