2018 New Year's Beer Resolutions?

It's also nearly always a bad idea to tally up numbers in terms of a "per year" basis. In my experience there's almost nothing, no matter how small it may seem on a daily or weekly basis, that doesn't seem horrifying once you look at it that way

As for resolutions, I need to drink a bit less simply out of age related calorie concerns. I enjoy bourbon as well as beer, so I'm glad to report that after lengthy deliberation I will be cutting down on................

Bourbon!

 

My resolution is to go to even more beer festivals in 2018.

 

Anyone sticking to their New Year's Resolution's still. I know it's only a little over two weeks in....
Resolution 1 - Buy less, but buy fresh and local. I picked up a six-pack of Hopslam but split it. I also drove back from Chicago last weekend and decided to make my first stop at 3 Floyds. Picked up some goodies for me and some friends. I only held onto 3 Zombie's and 3 Gumballheads.
Resolution 2 - Drink less. I had the 3 Hopslams this past Saturday and 2 other beers the Saturday before. I didn't swear off beer for an extended period of time, but I am finding that I am really looking forward to these Saturday indulgences. The Zombie Dust will be good tomorrow.

I have some work to do and feel that I am off to a good start.

 

My resolution is to make sure my wife doesn't see the beer bill this year.

 

1. Not drinking more beer, but drinking more cellar beer.
2. Doing good here - not getting any BA Fidy
   
3. Accomplished - got 7 of each
   
4. Not yet - still 4 styles left
   
5. Not yet - still 20 states left

 

I'm fighting the epic battle between doing keto to lose some poundage and drinking good beer to maintain my sanity on this crazy blue marble. Right now, beer is winning.

 

I want to balance my purchases with my intake. Too many of my decisions on which beer to drink has to do with this one needs to be drank before it fades any more.

 

To continue balancing a healthy lifestyle with enjoying artisan beer.

 

I gave up ipa last year, and was surprised how my palate shifted.

 

1. Same as last year, drink down my cellar. I can't stop buying cult beers, even though I tend to drink mostly new-to-me beers, so my cellar keeps growing.
   
2. Drink and review all 104 styles. Stuck at 101 at the moment with three to go (Sahti, Gruit, and Happoshu). Missed a Gruit the other day, by only a few hours.
   
3. Get my hands/lips on some Westvleteren 12 and KBBS at less than black-market pricing.
