We just brewed an Allagash White clone and recently a Stella Artois clone too. Of course, I can have none of them :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-lovers/page/2#post-594130 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 12:02:06 +0000 lavender 594130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Harpoon Brewery is my fave local brewery. Love them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-lovers/page/2#post-588503 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 23:21:14 +0000 BlueWolverine 588503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rock n Roll: Those pics of your baby helping fill the bottles are adorable. </p> <p>DH and I are also beer lovers. We're in Texas and we love Shiner. Classic Bock is my favorite, with Blonde running a close second. Blonde Light is my favorite light beer in general. I also love Fireman's #4. I'll only drink the mass market beers if nothing else is available.</p> <p>I do admit to loving Blue Moon pumpkin beer. We saved some for me to have after LO was born in January. They're all gone. Tasted great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-lovers/page/2#post-588453 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 22:20:47 +0000 MediaNaranja 588453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nice...I will be on the lookout for that book! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-lovers/page/2#post-588441 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 22:08:01 +0000 kjpugs 588441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WOOHOOO IU! Hoo Hoo Hoo HOOSIERS! :-) we are IU fans can you tell? DH went there I will ask if he has other ideas. However you would probably like my cousin's book. Indiana Breweries by John Holl and Nate something (clearly John is my cousin not Nate haha. I think it's like Schweber?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-lovers/page/2#post-588427 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:59:15 +0000 MediaNaranja 588427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KJfromNJ: Bloomington is where I live, spent plenty of time at both those places! Thanks for the recs, we will have to check those out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-lovers/page/2#post-588377 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:33:46 +0000 kjpugs 588377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Fresh market near us carries some GF beer, I bought it by accident once in a "build your own 6 pack" when I just grabbed all the IPA's and I didn't realize until my husband asked why I was drinking GF beer!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-lovers/page/2#post-588327 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:13:43 +0000 aprk 588327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: there are some pretty tasty gluten free beers out there </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-lovers/page/2#post-588325 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:13:09 +0000 mrbee 588325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to really enjoy beer! But I cut out wheat and had to stop drinking it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-lovers/page/2#post-588312 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:07:03 +0000 kjpugs 588312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MediaNaranja: oh and I also loved venturing to Bloomington- Upland and if you like wine, Oliver Winery! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-lovers/page/2#post-588308 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:06:16 +0000 kjpugs 588308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MediaNaranja: oh my gosh I could write you a NOVEL! I love growler fill Friday at Sun King (downtown). Cheap if you own growlers. Love their beer. Also LOVE Thr3e Wise men in broad ripple. Amazing beer and food. And strangely love Rock Bottom on the north side- brewmaster Liz does an above average PHENOMINAL job. Simcoe IPA is great and the seasonals are too. What area of town do you live in? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-lovers/page/2#post-588189 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 19:53:18 +0000 MediaNaranja 588189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KJfromNJ: tell me about your favorite Indianapolis breweries! We live in the area and dont get out much and id love to try something new! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-lovers/page/2#post-588149 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 19:21:37 +0000 fussygal 588149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marionberry I've been ALL about the ciders lately, too! I'm trying to taste as many as I can while we're still TTC before it's too late! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-lovers/page/2#post-588147 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 19:18:52 +0000 kjpugs 588147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@apis: oh my mouth is just watering!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-lovers/page/2#post-588134 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 19:11:43 +0000 apis 588134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjfromnj: I've been on a huge Double/Imperial IPA kick recently, and enjoying a whole range of different small brewer's ales, like Hop-A-Lot-Amus by River Horse Brewing, Burton Baton by Dogfish Head, Big A by Smuttynose, and Leviathan by Harpoon. Very tasty times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-lovers/page/2#post-587719 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:47:21 +0000 MapleMoose 587719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I miss beer. We have so many local brews in New England. Love the stuff that comes out of Vermont. They make some good stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-lovers/page/2#post-587718 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:47:10 +0000 mrsmenow 587718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: We live in Madison, but DH is from the Milwaukee area so we go that way often. Maybe once you get settled we could do a Bee meetup! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-lovers/page/2#post-587705 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:43:29 +0000 kiddosc 587705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmenow: What part of Wisconsin are you in? We're moving back to the Milwaukee area later this year. In TX there are no basements and the garage is not a suitable beer storage environment when it's 107 outside, so I already gave up part of my eat in kitchen to his brew habit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-lovers/page/2#post-587698 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:40:15 +0000 kjpugs 587698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jessiejo17: that is my worst nightmare!!!! But there are some SUPER tasty mixed drinks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-lovers/page/2#post-587685 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:36:37 +0000 LuLu Mom 587685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a beer drinker before pregnancy, but now after giving birth it's hard for me to drink the stuff (strange!) so I mostly drink mixed drinks now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-lovers/page/2#post-587682 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:33:29 +0000 mlm2934 587682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fussygal: @marionberry: I read somewhere that Portland has the most craft breweries per capita in the world - made me really want to visit!</p> <p>ETA: @fussygal I need to read better u already said that!! LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-lovers/page/2#post-587676 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:27:04 +0000 marionberry 587676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fussygal: I live in Oregon too! And boy do I love having craft beer everywhere! The small little town I grew up in even has their own brewery now and a few great beers. At the same time, I totally agree with you that I love to try craft beers everywhere we go to see what else is out there. DH and I call ourselves beer snobs (although only him now that I'm preggers). I also love the locally made hard ciders that you're starting to see more. Yum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-lovers/page/2#post-587668 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:21:46 +0000 fussygal 587668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're big craft beer lovers, too and my husband brews his own stuff often! We live in Oregon, the land of the craft beers, so we always have an awesome selection at the store. A few years ago Oregon had the most craft breweries per capita (I think we still hold that title)! Whenever I travel for work I always try to order local beer to see what else is out there, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-lovers/page/2#post-587650 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:13:31 +0000 aprk 587650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Fullsteam is awesome - very casual, good beer, and food trucks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-lovers/page/2#post-587646 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:12:46 +0000 kjpugs 587646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmenow: that sounds awesome! I wish we had friends in our neighborhood! I don't even think our neighbors speak English : / </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-lovers/page/2#post-587636 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:07:51 +0000 mrsmenow 587636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KJfromNJ: If you are ever in Wisconsin you are so welcome to stop by. It is the hang out of the neighborhood now complete with an actual dart board so we can play darts and drink beer with all of our neighbors and not need to worry about everyone finding a babysitter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-lovers/page/2#post-587635 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:07:42 +0000 mediagirl 587635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KJfromNJ: we'll have to try Fullsteam or Bull City next weekend. My parents are coming into town so we'll be able to get away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-lovers/page/2#post-587630 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:05:01 +0000 kjpugs 587630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@drealeah: that's how it was when I lived in Indianapolis- very brewery friendly with newer breweries popping up, and food trucks too! Now in central FL there are lots of food trucks but NOT a lot of breweries. Sads. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-lovers/page/2#post-587629 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:05:01 +0000 mrsmenow 587629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: So did we, lol</p> <p>The kegerator was my way of encouraging him to work faster. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-lovers/page/2#post-587626 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:04:53 +0000 LindsayInNY 587626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KJfromNJ: I don't think we've tried that one before! But I've heard of/seen it. Have to add it to the list! </p>
