Yeah, that's it. It's not really that similar, but it still came to mind.

Speaking of White Lion, I had this the other day from Vitamin Sea (one of my new favorite places) and it was really good. Collaboration.

I've been meaning to try that place! My wife is from the South Shore. It just seems like a haul since I can't have the full experience.

I have a similar story, except I have many regrets. It involves too many Sips of Sunshine, needing to Uber home from the bar, and my wife's water breaking about 2 hours after I got home from the bar and having to call a friend to drive us to the hospital. Luckily, my wife is incredible and not only didn't immediately divorce me on the spot, but forgave me fairly quickly.

The fact that you're still alive to share this story amazes me...

For the record, 8% is pretty average for a double IPA. Even most IPAs now run 6-7%. So exercise caution with the style generally. I split all my 16oz cans with my wife. Stuff is calorie dense as well.

Lol. I've probably mentioned it here before, but I still vividly remember my second visit with my nutritionist some four years ago now. After the first visit she had me start doing a food diary on myfitnesspal. When she reviewed my diary entries the next visit the first thing she said was "Oh my God, what kind of beer is more than 300 per serving?!?"

It was SoS, clocking in at 320 calories for 16 ounces. I was trying to keep my daily calorie intake around 1800, so two of those were essentially a full meal's worth of calories.

Scotch at around 70 calories per ounce is much easier to manage.

I think we discussed this once before, but I was never a spirits drinker. Had friends who dabbled in bourbon. When Untappd became the rage, and keeping up with each new beer wasn't impossible (2014 is when I joined Untappd) I managed to drink a new beer daily and gained like 15-20 pounds. That had to stop. I moved into whiskey in 2016, started reviewing them and now it's my main option. I try to limit beers to weekends or maybe half of one on a weeknight if I am working the grill. Smoking a Turkey on Thanksgiving will qualify for that.

My recollection is you're the same age I am, and even getting up and hitting my rowing machine this morning can't make up for drinking beer the way it once did. I need to stick with myfitnesspal. It reveals a multitude of sins.

Yep. I often quote @Fishy's statement several years ago, "What gets measured gets managed." It really doesn't get more complicated than that imo.

Yea that’s 8 beers directly to the face. Have def been there before hahaha

Since we all drink beers in sizes that don’t equate to a normal serving size, I found the link below helpful, especially if I’m driving:

Alcohol Drink Size Calculator | Rethinking Drinking | NIAAA

Simply record the alcohol content and the container size and find out the number of standard drinks are in a container.

Must be the Irish in me... Like I said, wife was mad. I didn’t understand why until after I looked at the can and saw 8% and was like, “ah... that makes a lotta sense”

That's when you say "Must be the Irish in me; wouldn't you like a little Irish in you?"
 
Ghost Island DIPA from Thimble Island Brewing and Sip of Sunshine from Lawsons Beer company (brewed by Two Roads)!

That place is so overrated, go just 20 miles from there to Red Barn Brewing and have an Evil Angel DIPA, better than anything at Hill Farmstead.

Seriously? The same beer that has a 3.78 on Untappd (which is less than average for DIPA these days). Different strokes for different folks I guess.

I thought I might have put it on Ignore in error but I can't find it there either. Is it gone?

Highly recommend the new Marlowe stout that dropped yesterday - Blackout Jinx, with local maple syrup and honey. Zac Ross is a seriously talented brewer. We are lucky to have him and 12% in CT.

What do folks like in a lighter beer (not a DIPA or Stout)? What are good lagers or pilsners? I'm not hop crazy. Or a lighter, easy to drink IPA?
