who loves beer

I always thought I didn't like beer but was recently out with some friends at a place where beer was the only available alcoholic beverage. I learned that I actually DO like beer, but ONLY draft beer. My first choice will continue to be wine since I can get the same effect while consuming fewer calories, but a nice, cold draft beer can be a tasty alternative.

The beer I usually drink has a lot less calories than the wine that I like. That doesn't go for all the beer though, lol.

I love my fernet branca with coke (:

I love beer. I mainly drink Ontario Craft Beer except when I'm away from home then I drink the most local Craft Beer that I can find. It is amazing how many great beer there are.

Beer. Yes.

I love a very hoppy IPA; some have a hint of citrus. Yummy. Drinking one now and I still have 1,100 calories left for dinner (which may include a second beer) thanks to some good cardio and careful eating otherwise today.

I often sign posts #IRunForBeer. Because... well, it's almost true.

Former HHH runner from waaaay back (Hash House Harriers). Beer and running, an unbeatable mix.

I love craft beer. In fact, tomorrow I'll be entering my first 5k and the one thing that convinced me to enter is that it's sponsored by a brewery. It starts and ends at the brewery and after you finish, you get a pint of beer and a souvenir mug. They also have a live bands for entertainment and food trucks for eats. They also don't time the race, since it's not really a race...just a beer run...or walk.

@7lenny7 OH I MUST DO THIS! Where?

Failing that I must convince a local craft brewery to do the same here!

Currently drinking a Brassneck "Wingman" IPA, hoppy but not extreme, hint of citrus. Yum.

@7lenny7 I think I would enjoy living in your part of the world.

A drinking club with a running problem is exactly the sort of outfit I'd like to be in.

But, I do love a good porter or stout. I miss my Aviator Red

I could always go for a good stout, porter or lager... and IPAs. Next batch I brew shall be an IPA I think... I've done a lot of lagers and stouts, getting bored, although thinking of trying an oatmeal stout.

What do you brew?

Also, my husband homebrews hard cider. It is GOOD. Using brown sugar, some orange blossom honey, and cinnamon, ginger, and cloves makes a lovely spicy mix.

I've brewed one batch of a hard apple and a hard pear cider... it's ok but I'd rather beer.

That's awesome. Some of our NJ breweries ought to do that.

I have one a few miles away that does free tours of the place, and after the tour they let you into a tasting room (this is pay however), pretty awesome. I have yet to get to some of the others.

Just working on some spent grain burger buns and pizza dough for our opening....24 taps, all micro and independent, will have Sierra Nevada on tap as well, so yup like beer.

Sounds like fun to me!
