Beers that make you sleepy.

It depends on what I had to eat,how many beers,what kind of beer,and what I am doing.

 

I have one of these in my cellar. I am currently trying to liquidate my cellar and Super Bowl was my barrel-aged stout day. Planning a barleywine day here soon and that will be on the lineup for sure. Glad to hear you liked it.

 

Anything over 9% ABV usually makes me sleepy, especially if I'm drinking at home so I try to limit myself to one or two a night.

 

I got the Daft for Christmas. I wish I had another handful for cellaring. It's an incredible beer. I'd sit on it a year or two and then have some friends over.

 

One homemade remedy for insomnia is to sew a "pillow" filled with hops and to keep it by your pillow. The hop aroma has powerful effects even before it is used in beer!

 

Sierra Nevada Estate Ale. That one put me down, twice. Only half way through too...its the hops. different hops do different things to different people. They are 'block specific' if you will. Some get you high when you smoke them, some don't. Some people are really sensitive/allergic to hops. Also, the way hops are processed affects the way they assimilate with the body. You can get a different affect with a pellitized hop as opposed to a wet whole cone hop. So many factors, but its definately the hops 98 percent of the the time.

 

A sixer of StB always poops me out...

(Reply quell: Yes, I realize they're not in said format)

 

I read somewhere that the amino acids in hops are similar to tryptophan, you know the stuff in turkey that makes you sleepy. Higher hopped brews = more naps!

 

Came here to say exactly this.

 

last I checked it was still readily available in St. Louis

 

Steaming hot Ten Fidy with a dash of whole milk and two big marshmallows. Puts me to sleep 60% of the time, all the time.

 

20 oz. of Black Tuesday pretty much did the trick.

 

Once I hit 30 every beer made me tired

 

Really? Sounds interesting. How do you make it?

 

Had a Black Tuesday while at the beach last summer. The combo surely helped me sleep soundly.

 

It isn't style, but amount for me.

 

dogfish head 120 minute IPA & Fegleys Hopsolutely put me out.

 

I love IPAs and all but for some reason really hoppy beers make me sleepy.

 

Ahhh I hate waking up to the half full glass, especially if it was something good
