New Year Beer Resolutions (2014)

Sounds like a great trading problem!

 

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

 

Do my first trade!

 

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

 

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.

 

get a new job so I can support this now expensive habit.

not do impluse buys when it comes to beer.

 

Start homebrewing and cut down on spending.

 

You have way more discipline than I do and I tip my glass to you. (Yours = right answer...mine = hopeless mess. )

 

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.

 

Live to see 2014 works for me. 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 - my money and my mid-section will benefit from some moderation.

Wish me luck lol

 

run or swim or bike, and HB. there I saved ya, lol

jokes.... but it "might" work....maybe.

not sure HB has really saved me that much..

 

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