Beer

[Amazing Larry]

I'm finally breaking out the homebewing kit i bought last summer.

who here does home brewing?

I'm sure i'll have questions as i proceed to f*ck it up.

 

Did you brew yet?

[mrwicked]

Did you brew yet?

 

not yet.

been trying to finish up my remodel before I break it out, the poor beer kit waits patiently for me.

 

in the meantime...

this weekend is Bay Area Brew Fest, so I'll be at that.

It's always so much fun.

Somebody brought some Heady Topper into work yesterday. Quite good.

[Homebrewer]

Someone brings beer into work?

 

You must work for Angelswin.

Sounds like a personal issue. Did you try some salve?

Lol. It's a pretty outstanding work environment. We actually brew our own beer and keep a keezer in our break room.

An OC Register article talking about best places to get adult beverages in Anaheim Stadium. It talks about the explosion of craft beer available in the stadium and makes recommendations of which beers to try. All of the beers mentioned are Anheiser Busch products.

Tried an hazelnut dark at the L.A. Live Yardhouse yesterday evening, pretty good.

I've been working to drop a few...tough to find solid beers that don't break the calorie bank.

 

When you really break down the calorie count in some of these craft beers...well, that would explain why I need to drop a few.

 

 

 

Session IPAs tend to be around 125-140 calories...but most of them kind of suck.

 

Firestone DBA comes in at 150, and that's a nice beer.

 

Guiness comes in at a surprising 125 or so

 

Smog City had a nice pils for around 130

 

Anyone else have some suggestions?

I recently sent my yearly rant to my Season Seat Rep about this lack of good/craft beer in the stadium. She always responds nicely about it but I know it falls on deaf ears. ABInBev pays a lot of money for all those taps in the stadium, way more than they could ever make selling local craft brews. Petco Park makes me very jealous.

 

Noble Ale Works gets most of my pregame beer money.

I haven't had a drink in a few months, but my favorite beers are of the saison variety.

I agree with what you are saying. Economically it makes more sense to do what they're doing. I imagine you and I are in the top percent of people who care about beer at an Angel game. For 99% of the people a Goose Island IPA will be the best, most flavorful, and exotic beer they'll have that week. And it's leaps and bounds better than anything they had a decade ago. I don't go to games to drink beer. I go to watch games. But it would be nice to have stuff from Noble or Pizza Port available somewhere in the stadium.

Dude you're gonna piss of some pretentious Nocallers saying shit like that.

Speaking of beers north of us, I spent the weekend drinking Rainier. It was born in the mountains and made from Yakima Valley hops. Fantastic.

 

It's brewed from Yak piss. Way back in the 70's my brother and I went to Montana and stayed at our Aunts place in Helena. We bunked in the basement for a couple days. That is where Uncle Gene kept a second refrigerator stocked with beer should he happen to run out upstairs. We thought we had hit the jackpot, an entire fridge stocked to top with beer. Soon we found out uncle Gene was not too particular as to how he got drunk, just so his wife's voice quit piercing his skull. We tried to get drunk on Raineer Beer (teenagers will drink anything) but we gave up after two.

 

After being sold a couple of times they shut it down in the late 90's, I don't think there was a single person that complained, they just switched over to Brew102 or some alike swill. What you are drinking now is from Irwindale, California. No relationship to the original brewery in Washington or recipe. It appears the cost of Yak piss was too expensive.

This is pretty good beer

Crazy story about Brew 102.

try this:

 

 

it supposed to taste great AND, get this, be less filling!

[red321]

Hmmm...that might be worth a warning point

[Blarg]

Or two.

None. You mentioned Guinness which would work, but you really have to cut it out.

I was in the same boat and started meal prepping and cutout 90% (probably closer to 75% now) and have lost close to 20 pounds in about 2 months counting this week. I lost 15 just in the first month, month and a half...then started to have a few more than usual and have been stagnant.

I don't think there really is a way unless you cut it out. Or work your ass off when you do drink.

I'm a stout drinker and love the coffee versions but the barrel aged stuff doesn't click for me. I casually picked up a Parabajava last weekend at the new Firestone brewery in Venice because it's one of those hard to get beers—they leaked some for the grand opening. I'll see if I at least like coffee BA beers.

For all you beer pros, my classmate from HS makes all sorts of cool stuff from beer products, like wallets, luggage tags, etc. Check it out. And she'll make custom stuff if you don't see what you want.

Oh, I get that I should cut it out completely...but I choose not to...I'd rather enjoy myself with a beer or two once or twice a week than not....quickest way to get me to stop altogether. Worked so far...down 25 in 6 weeks. Big part is doing the math. Drink a beer, means you work out more or eat less that day.

Have a couple vodka sodas dude
