Craft Beer Lovers...CHEERS!!!

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Boulevard Pale Ale (Kansas City)
Boulevard Wheat (The best wheat anywhere)
Yuenglings Lager (Pennsylvania-Oldest Brewery in the nation)
Bell's Kalamazoo Brewery (Michigan) (Just about anything)

Recently found out that Yuengling Light Lager has less calories than a Bud light! Take THAT crap beer drinkers! Amstel light is also lower in calories than a Bud light.

I did a beerfest right before starting MFP so I have a whole post about which beers my boyfriend and I tried.. Feel free to read it

Typically I like Malty beers like Yuengling Lager and my boyfriend likes Hoppy beers like Sam Adams Noble Pils... basically we reviewed almost all the beers between the two of us..

Most of the beers were from Florida since that's where the beerfest was. But a couple of big names were there too.

For a craft Brewer I LOVE this specialty beer made by a craft brewer in Ontario called NickleBrook. There Green Apple Beer is soo good!! Its not a cider but like a mixture of apple juice and beer. A bit weird but soo good on a hot summer day!!

Love Bell's Two-Hearted; possibly my favorite IPA, and just had their Hopslam, which was delicious. Also love Dogfish Head's 120 IPA and their Palo Santo Marron. I'm all out now, but 3 Floyd's Dark Lord 2010 was amazing.

Craft beer... I wish I knew how to quit you!

LOVE Dogfish! We don't get it here, but I have family in KY and every time we go back, we load up!! My boyfriend really wanted to go to 3 Floyd's Dark Lord Day, but isn't Maybe next year!

Nice to see someone recognize Bell's! They've been a favorite of mine for about 15 years. Oh, crap. I'm 29. I mean, um, 8 years, of course....

Hooray for Bell's! (MI native here :drinker: )

Dragonmead Final Absolution is delicious
Any kind of Amber Ale is good
Peninsula Porter by Michigan Brewing Co (Creamy dark beer)
Dark Chocolate Stout

I am just recently getting into craft beers and my boyfriend and I often get a six pack of "tasties" on the weekend to enjoy. There is a party store near my place that you can make your own six pack, so I like to do that and try different things.

Oh God, I am drooling...

If you are ever in the greater Cleveland area (I travel there for business), there is a local brewery called Great Lakes Brewery and they make a year round brew called Eliot Ness that is simply awesome...sort of like Killian's Red, but with much better body and flavor. They also make a seasonal Christmas ale that I stock up and drink into January (when I am not dieting).

If I went to heaven and I was drinking beer for eternity, I would choose Sam Adams Octoberfest...

Just found this thread....

Great Lakes Brewery's Conway's Irish Ale was written up in the St. Paul, Minnesota, newspaper on St. Pat's Day. I found it in a Whole Foods store while in Madison (Wis) last weekend and brought a six-pack home. Love it!!!

I also love the oatmeal stout from Lake Superior Brewery in Duluth, MN.

Had to go to a local brewery to make some arrangements for a meeting I run every Friday night. Naturally, I decided to have a pint while I was there. Typically, I would have had more than one, but I kept it to the single. Sleepy Dog Brewery's Tail Chaser IPA, for those keeping score.

Keeping of keeping score, I dutifully added the pint to my count, using the formula I detailed earlier. Then I rode my bike all the way home, which pretty much negated the beer. But I do this almost every day, so I had to balance with a moderate dinner.

Lo and behold, I made it under goal by nearly 300 calories! And the scale says I'm down from yesterday.

Beer + exercise + calorie counting = FTW. It can be done!
