Took advantage of the great law change this week and went to may favorite local liquor store and got a 32 oz growler of Lagunitas Fusion, a goose island Madam Rose and a 4 pack of Radler. Love being able to go to one place to get growler, low grav and high grav selections.

The liquor store I normally go to is in the process if adding low grav. They already carried high grav stuff and also found out they are going to be filling growlers as well. Pretty excited about it.

Going to be in Wisconsin this weekend near all of my favorite breweries.

Also, my job has a perk in that customers tip me in beer. I have a fridge full of Kona, New Glarus, Revelation, Bent River, and Southern Tier. The work fridge is overflowing with beer, too.

Trying to be healthier which means drinking less beer. Any suggestions for low calorie beers? I searched the thread and saw that Guiness is only 125 calories which surprised me. I can handle Miller Lite (96 calories) occasionally but I was wondering what else there might be out there that I'm overlooking.

Right. One Bigfoot would do you. Where as might drink 3-4 lite beers that taste like crap

Well yea...but I'm looking for other options than lite beer or Guniness that are in the 90-130 calorie range. Obviously not very likely but I figured I'd have the best chance to hear some options in the "beer" thread.

All kidding aside, look for some session beers, like All Day Ipa by Founders or Stone's Go To IPA. Yazoo's Summer Ale is a Gose and it is very nice on a summers day. Don't know what the calorie count is, but the lower the alcohol content often equals less calories.

Unfortunately if you are concerned with calories, there isn't going to be much in the craft beer world. You'll be sacrificing flavor for calories. If calories are your only concern, probably MD 60, or what ever miller calls it, is your best bet.

Yep. When I was counting calories and still drinking I chose Miller Lite. Had least amount of calories with highest ABV.

I can't drink the 64 type beers. Taste like piss

So, I think this leads me to ask about beer ingredients. While I don't drink the many kinds that you guys do, I have gotten into trying different beers the last couple of years. However, I also like to keep health in mind. I am certainly not an organic person, but I have become mindful of the artificial sweeteners and genetically modified organisms that are being used in food and drink. I do think it is becoming a problem. I recently read an online article that mentioned bad beers to drink based on ingredients. I don't care as much about calories because most good things are high in calories. Has anyone studied or know about beer ingredients? Any good organic beers? Or ones that aren't high with artificial ingredients? Just curious.

If you're talking about the Food Babe's article, ignore that tripe.

Haha. I did see that one, but there are others out there. I read another one first.

Again, I am far from an "organic" person. I think you handle things in moderation, even if you want to be organic. But I am still mindful of it.

My Dad just returned from an epic beer run to Vermont for Heady Topper. It is divine. Wish all you people can come over for a beer but I don't think I want to share.

If you ever have a chance and like IPA, get some. It's hoppy lol.
