For the Love of Beer

I already know that one of my biggest weaknesses on this journey will be beer. I am a complete and total beer lover. I love trying different varieties from different breweries. I love seeing how different beers pair with different foods. I love the flavors and the complexities of it.

On top of that, moving to NC means unlocking a whole new world in terms of beer buying: Having beer available at the grocery store. In Maryland, buying a six-pack meant making a special trip to the liquor store. It was kind of a hassle. Now, I am greeted every week by a tempting variety of new beers to try. It also doesn’t help that North Carolina has some amazing local brewers that have found their way into my beer loving heart.

Unfortunately, beer tends to be several points… points that I suppose would be better served eating nutritious foods. And, even though I know there are light beer options… those are not much better points-wise and I definitely prefer quality over quantity when it comes to beer. So I will relegate my beloved beer to occasional treat status and find a way to incorporate this magical beverage into my new healthy routines.

Maybe this will help me cut out other unhealthy foods. No one wants Buffalo wings and water.
