  • @trogalicious... I forgot to tell you. I'm "mcarrell" on Untappd.
  • ^ ^ LOL ^ ^ No that's a true beer lover! That sounds good. I'm not huge on fruit in beer, (especially blueberry. It's really hard to make a good one.) but I do love a good bourbon barrel aged beer... Certain craft brews and whiskey work very well together
  • @misskortney I live about 20 miles up the road from NH. Go down that way often, and of course it's in the stores everywhere. ;-p (Bells too.) If it makes you feel any better... I do have to drive a couple hours for Three Floyds though If you ever find yourself at New Holland make sure to come up the road to Grand Haven and…
  • @trogalicious Just looked that up. Looks yummy. Going to have to see if I can find that around here. Thanks!
  • @misskortney... Wow. You rock. Instead of a fruit or maybe in addition have you thought about something like Wintergreen or Mint, that would help in the end product I think. @capnrus... I too have been enjoying whiskey more not the cheap stuff that people mix but actually sitting down and taking a while to enjoy a glass of…
  • @jchula and undulyinteres... Awe aren't you two cute. ;-) @Bastiencade... Have you been to Founders? If not you have to come this way sometime and try the Breakfast Stout on tap. Just something about it fresh from the tap. Also... My wife and I love Delirium Tremens. We have that instead of Champagne for our New Year's…
  • Welcome all. Invite more people the more the merrier. @troalicious... Would you be referring to Asheville? I am in Grand haven, MI (30 miles west of Grand Rapids) and I voted along with many of my friends and family to get the tie with you guys for "Beer City USA" I'm hoping to make a trip down that way within the next…
  • What's the name of the local brewery? How far away do they currently distribute? I'm always looking for new beer to try. Maybe I should start a trading thread here. ;-) Have you ever had Hop Slam from Bell's Brewery? Delicious! A bit pricey but, quite, tasty. (See link below) http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/287/17112
  • Oh I love Zombie Dust! That is damn fine beer. And you don't even have to be a Hop-Head to appreciate it. I have to make runs to get it though, as Three Floyds doesn't distribute up here in West Michigan yet. (I don't think they are even in Michigan yet...
  • Unfortunately, if I'm being honest, I would have to say I'm not very compassionate. At least not when it comes to giving to the fly buzzed children or limping dogs on those ridiculous whiny pleas for money on the TV. And... No I don't want to add 25 cents for blah, blah, blah charity as I'm trying to order this huge…
  • Black and strong, and usually only 8-16 oz in the morning. If I drink coffee after that, it's usually with company and there is alcohol in it.
  • Hi all, My name is Mark and while I'm not in complete hiding, I don't broadcast the fact that I am an Atheist. (I'm pretty sure I would mysteriously lose my job if I did) I was born into Baptist church, and attended for the first 12, 13 years of my life. Dad was a deacon in the church, but parted ways with them as he…
  • ^ ^ This is good ^ ^ Welcome Kangoojumps! Make sure to invite any other like minded people on over. These types of groups only work if you have a decent number of regular posters.
  • Welcome PKFryearson, I didn't know you couldn't home brew in Singapore... That intrigued me so I did a quick Google search and found this: http://singaporebeer.com/2011/04/09/the-truth-about-homebrewing-licensing/ Looks like you can, but limited to 30 liters per month.
  • @Stormchasergrl... I started on a Mr. Beer too. It is not quite the same thing as what we are doing now, but it's a great way to get your feet wet in the craft, and the end product isn't horrible either. I still remember that we added orange peel to our first Mr. Beer batch and it wasn't bad at all. If you don't mind a…
  • Welcome everyone, Glad to see this group won't be empty.
  • Ok Stormchasergrl... I got bored enough and started a Group. It's called "Craft Beer and Home Brewing" Here it is: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/11960-craft-beer-and-home-brewing Invite anyone you think might like to join in there.
  • @stormchasergrl... I hear ya. With the amount of people on MFP you would think there would be more of us, but there isn't even a group for people who enjoy alcoholic libations let alone one for Craft and Home brew fans. On these forums it seems like Alcohol is the devil or something. Maybe one of these days when I'm bored…
  • ^^ What she said ^^ @firstsip I see you love craft beer. Yay!! We should start a craft beer and home brewing group on here. Craft and home brews have lots of calories in them but since they are so full of flavor I find I can sip and enjoy them longer than those nasty beer flavored soft drinks that the masses drink. So it…

  • I am craft beer and whiskey. I hate the macro beers (Bud, Coors, Miller, etc...) for many different reasons, but that's another topic. So my problem is that there's no such thing as under 100 calories for my beers. Even a Sam Adams Light is 10 calories an ounce and as most Craft breweries serve beer in pint (16 oz) glasses…
  • As an earlier poster said it was a visit to the doctor who told me I was borderline this and borderline that and wanting to start me on all these different pills and medications, blah, blah, blah... I hate having to take pills and I was not about to start doing that if I didn't have to. (I have friends that take pills for…
  • +1 for Endomondo. It's a very good and extensive app that can sync up with MFP. Love that when I go for a walk, hike, bike, etc... it automatically adds in my calories burned to MFP.
