Welcome to both jjking54 and sjaplo,
Glad you guys could make it. This group's membership and activity level goes up and down, but as the New Year has come and Spring is approaching I expect a lot more activity both on MFP and in this group.
Happy brewing, drinking, and goal achieving...

For those of you in Northern Colorado, Wilbur's (2201 S College in Ft. Collins) is doing a Pale Ale tasting this afternoon between 4-7. (4 beers each Friday for the next 4 weeks.)
Enjoy!0 -
Glad there is a group on here like this -- I am a 4+ yr vet of homebrewing (AG). I am determined to change my weight while still enjoying a hobby and beer that I love.
Just started on MFP as part of my lenten promise... I needed to make a change, wish me luck!

Hey guys, glad to see something beer related on the fitness forums!
I'm Sarah, and I live in Beer City (Grand Rapids) Michigan. Monk clubber at Brewery Vivant. My boyfriend and I home brew frequently, and recently upgraded from kits to all grain. Have our first batch of Mead aging right now too. (Oh, but a long wait yet for that!) I love hoppy beers in the summer, and dark, delicious and barrel aged in the winter. Sours, belgians, lagers, smokey beers, give em all to me. Not a lot of styles I can't find something in to appreciate.
My method of trying to keep beer in my diet is just to cycle on my way to my local breweries
Been trying to limit my drinking to once a week, but once summer hits I know I'm going to want to be sitting out in a beer garden soaking up the sun! I'm also tired of people saying you have to completely cut out alcohol to lose weight, what fun is that?
Cheers!

Welcome Sullenbee! Glad you could make it...
Also... Howdy neighbor. I'm in Grand Haven and like to think all of us along the lake over here definitely helped GR win the "Beer City" title. I know I voted multiple times.
If you like to ride bike then a great beer ride is to start out in Rockford have a couple then ride the White Pine (rail-to-trail) down hitting as many as you can. Maybe end up at Vivant and your mug. :happy: a bunch of us did it last year and it was a blast. Hoping to do another one this year.
If you haven't made it over to GH you should come on over and have a couple at Odd Side Ales. That's where my mug hangs. If you head over let me know and I'll buy ya a beer.
Welcome again and cheers!!
P.S.
I added you in Endomondo and Untappd. :drinker:0 -
Hello,
Sporadic homebrewer of mediocre beers and prolific consumer of fine ales here.
Currently living in North Carolina (Raleigh) but I'm a Minnesotan at heart. I have to admit, though, the south is growing on me.
Since I love to drink and I tolerate running, I am a semi-regular attendee of a local Hash House Harrier kennel (a drinking club with a running problem).
Any other hashers here?0 -
Welcome aboard BonworthVonFattyPants,
Never heard of "Hash House Harriers" (Had to Google it.) Of course... I'm not exactly what you would call an avid runner, so why would I right? "A drinking club with a running problem" (I see what you did there.)
Happy running and drinking! Probably best not to do it at the same time though. ;-)

Don't know if I'd quite call myself a hasher, but yes... I have a running problem but don't belong to a drinking club, except my own homebrew. So, I guess I qualify?

OK...new here...hashing is definitely a reason to start running again!!! I'm going to love you all!!!! Beer is a food group...well, not bud and miller, but beer you can bite! Oh yeah!0
