Your 2016 Beer Goals

Visit every brewery within convenient driving distance on my days off. Turns out there are a lot of breweries in my area.

 

I would die to get my hands on some Pipeworks and I know you guys there can get 3F pretty easy. I'm born and raised Chicago-native living in Phoenix. I miss Chicago :/

 

Had to clear out my beer storage area to move some furniture over the holidays. When it was all laid out on the table, the other table, floor, and a couple boxes in the next room, I realized I already had enough beer to last most of the year. So...I'm going to go with the "take more out of the cellar than I put into it" response.

 

Get the few hundred or so beers I've tried this year into the rating system.

 

Holy Crap. Hundreds of beers in the last 6 or 7 days!

 

Spend my beer money wisely and modestly, if I'm being honest. Spent waaay too much this past year on albeit tasty things. Figure out a better cellar solution then I have now. Broaden my taste a bit more into the bigger/heavier beers (RIS, BW, etc) so as to enjoy them a bit more.

Finally, get to the next level past Advocate!

 

Excellent goals all around!

I will take a crack at this!

As others are gearing up for the Cicerone, so am I!
I will be representing Luminous Brewhouse on the World Beer Cup stage so a medal is HUGE goal!
Attending the GABF!
Trying MORE Italian beers!
Meeting @jzeilinger!
Visiting Trve brewing!

That is about it for now!

 

Make more BA friends/convert more of my current friends and start-up a regular bottle share.

 

After I win the Powerball Saturday night I'm going to be on a trip to Belgium Westy 12 on tap at the abbey

 

Drink mostly my cellared beer and homebrew to save some $

 

1.) Stop thinking absurdities such as: "$14.99 a sixer! F-that!", as I walk out with two 22oz bombers for $20.00+.

2.) Dust off the homebrew equipment.

 

Try Trillium, Other Half, Casey, Ale Apothecary, Side Project, Tree House, Lawson's Finest Liquids, Cellarmaker.

 

5000

 

1. Stop buying so much beer when I am actually home because it sits and I don't drink it.
2. Stop buying cases of hops when I know I'm going to leave for months at a time. It's a waste of money.
3. Make it down to Tired Hands, Sante Adairius, Jester King, and make it to Cantillon when Brussels isn't under high terror alert causing me to be forced to go back to the states early.
4. Be less fat by drinking more beer and eating less food. It'll even out, right?

 

My goals area as follows:

• Attend the SN Beer Camp in San Francisco
• Go to Cigar City when visiting Orlando on the family vacation this summer
• Attend the Firestone Walker Beer Festival
• Drink more locally (SF Bay Area)

 

First home-based brewing done at the end of 2015. Shooting for 4 follow-ups in 2016. Beer trip to MI and/or OR

 

Visit more breweries, big and small.

 

To get to 1000 beers..at 817..and make a few road trips to Trillium and Tree House..a few others

 

Every year since joining BA, I have added more new beer reviews than the year before. In 2015, I added 351 beers to be exact. I'd like to reach an average of one new beer added per day (366 because of leap year).

If I make it, my goal for 2017 might be to stop ticking.
