    1. Spend less money on beer.
    2. Drink less beer.

    But it won't happen. I ticked nearly 500 beers this year and am approaching 800 overall. I would really love it if I didn't get to 1,000 next year. I just want to settle down a bit and revisit some old favorites while dis

    If you can find some White Chocolate Moo-Hoo we could probably make that happen. :wink:

    If I could I'd be more than happy to. But every place I know of around me had limited quantities and a line out front which I wasn't able to be in because of work :slight_frown:

    To drink less overall but drink better. I spend a little too much money on beer and could stand to lose a few pounds.

    I owe you a box. Sorry I haven't sent it yet but I have been too busy with work. Now that I saw this post I will knock one of those beers off your list.

    Make a few trades for some of my biggest wants and maybe make a few regular trading partners doing so.

    Finally make the trip to bells and founders I've been putting on the backburner since I started new job in July.

    Attempt to branch out into more Belgians, I never used to care much for dubbels/tripels/quads but my palate had evolved a lot this year.

    Visit two new breweries, one old brewery, and at least one brewpub, and to get at least 3 new growlers for the collection. This is just tough enough where I have to work for it, but not unrealistic.

    Yeah and no. I have some nice seconds and thirds+ but the majority of those are just one bottle each and I feel like a pig dog cracking those by myself so the majority just sits there while I wrestle with coordinating schedules with other geeks to enjoy them. :slight_frown:

    I have to ask, if PtY is a goal do you have your trip booked? I found RR to be so unexpectedly underwhelming location wise. It's a restaurant in a strip mall so I was skeptical but damn it was such a great experience! That said, Lagunitas was more fun...

    1. find a way to buy alot of KBS this Spring and alot more BCBS next fall.
    2. try to keep beer expenditures under $ 100/ week
    3. work on perfecting my seasonal beer calendar.
    4. finally buy a whole case of Ruddles County.
    5. try to remember that there is a style of beer called I-P-A and drink one once in a while (or not, honestly I don't really give a shit)
    6. continue to support local breweries whenever possible.

    PtY isn't going to be this year for me. I'm going to EBF in March so that's my big trip for the year, haha.

    Live to see 2014 works for me.:grinning: I love to find volunteer work in a brewery that "paid" in beer, but that is just a wild wish....

    Seriously I never make resolutions, I always break them anyway....

    Cut back on beer :grimacing: - my money and my mid-section will benefit from some moderation.

    Wish me luck :wink: lol

    Start home brewing and continuously practice so I can become real good at it.
