Whatcha Drinkin'?

47923ang

I'm inspired by the beer discussion in randoms. So....

What are you drinking right now? Or later tonight? Alcoholic? Non-alcoholic?

Alcoholic--Berliner Weiss from New Glarus
Non-alcoholic--plain ol' water in a giant glass

Breckenridge Brewery's Summer Bright
And water....always water.

A local brewery (two roads) Pilsner. Not my favorite. Brought LO to her first brewery today, had a great IPA!

esampson1983

Iced caramel machiatto and water, lots of water...

Love Two Roads! I need to do the brewery tour next time I'm home visiting my fam!

Blue moon and water for me as well. Having one beer twice a week now a days. Thought I'd want it more often!

bethanne09

Water and Gatorade. I wish I had the energy to go to the store to get a bottle of wine. Moving has totally destroyed me, momma needs some red.

Went out to dinner with DH last night and had my first full glass of wine since I got pregnant. I've never even been that much of a drinker, but it felt so good to do non-baby things again.

This is so much better than the watcha drinking during pregnancy thread!

Delicious coffee, water, and wine some evenings. So good!

@423ang That's what I had the other night! Whenever we visit WI, we load up on New Glarus. Their Berliner Weiss is exceptional.

Tonight: Moscow Mule but we don't have copper mugs.

Just finished a Founder's Rubaeus with dinner. And water. So much water.

(Cheers to the Two Roads and New Glarus! Nice choices)

Moscato. ALL the moscato

Plus I got a caramel frap at Starbucks and proceeded to dribble caramel on my daughter's head while I wore her. #MotherOfTheYear

Real Ale Fireman's 4... Cheers, ladies!

Guinness

virginiaunicorn11

Non-alcoholic: "Malta", water, coffee, BF tea, apple juice

Alcoholic: Weinstephaner Hefeweizen.

But only at home, maybe once a week. Germans flip their lid when they see pregnant ladies or new mamas with a drink in hand. They will ask me if I'm breastfeeding, while giving me the side eye.

If I had a nickel for every German who's told me not to drink during pregnancy or BF, I'd buy all the June mamas a case of Founder's Breakfast Stout!

Loving this thread.
Alcoholic - rum and coke, I almost forgot my love of spiced rum while being pregnant.

Non Alcoholic - either water or cranberry juice. I'm over cautious about UTIs in the summer since I live in a desert climate.

Question...What are y'alls' beer recommendations? I've been dying for a good beer, but it's not really DH's thing...

btm013

Alcoholic: Guinness last night but on Friday it was miller lite. That was the first time I ever had to "pump and dump". I still feel guilty about
It and I shouldn't! Baby is 2 months old. Mama deserved a night out!

Non-alcoholic: water.

dancegurl1118

@btm013 if I have less than 1 drink an hour I don't even think twice about feeding. I had 3 beers yesterday afternoon...

@virginiaunicorn11 remind me never to go to Germany while BFing. German beer is my jam (my mom is 100% German). Hefeweizens are my favorite ever.

@frankengibbs depends where you are or what you like. A really easy summer beer (or anytime beer) to start with is a Blue Moon. With an orange slice! It's really tasty. There's a local Hefeweizen I drink that has hints of vanilla that I love. Don't try an IPA unless you like really hoppy flavors!

So much water
small town brewery root beer beer is our current obsession. We ate friends with the liquor store owner down the street and he saves us a case when he gets his shipment. It's been selling out in hours.

btm013

@dancegurl1118 ya that's not how my Friday went down. I definitely had more than 3 beers

SmashJam

I have missed beer SOO SOO MUCH while pregnant, I stocked up on some of my faves when I got close to the end, and my brother brought some from Indiana when he visited last week. 

Non Alcoholic: Seltzer water

 

Alcoholic: Zombie Dust (in moderation-9% takes some getting used to after 10 months absence!)

Fresh Slice (White IPA)

The word "afternoon" is my favorite! Haha I think we would be good friends.

Is it the "Not Your Fathers Root Beer"? That's popular here! And delicious!

I so thought I would want wine but I have been so tired and so thirsty since I delivered that all I want is water. By the gallon...

KarasTwin

Still trying to make myself drink tons of water, but I have had alcohol a couple times. My favorite is peach Moscato and at my friend's 30th birthday party the other night they had peach sangria. I'm also addicted to grape fanta.

@SmashJam @423ang Zombie Dust! That's a whale for me. We weren't clued into it until we moved away from NYC (wouldn't have mattered if we had been, as some of my NYC peeps were having a hard time finding it), and we certainly aren't finding whales where we live now. Super jealous...

SmashJam

@mellymar I'm in the northeast and definitely cannot get it here-my brother bought it from Indiana as one of TWO six packs he was able to find.

Today I was able to get some Focal Banger, a beer by a brewery where I live that is not usually released retail, just to restaurants. They did it for flood relief as some areas flooded in bad storms here in the last week.  It was definitely a whale for me...as I stood in a line for two hours (without LO, DH was home with him) in 85 degree weather for a case, haha.

coopmke

@mellymar @SmashJam @423ang I am with you on the Zombie Dust! So good! We are in Milwaukee and my husband will occasionally drive all the way to Three Floyd's to get some, we currently have a case! We also cross the border into Illinois to find it on a semi-regular basis but it is still a whale to us too (and love that you called it that @mellymar )

For all the beer nerds... We had friends in town this past weekend from Nashville and San Antonio, so we had a bottle share before going out Saturday night -- so many amazing beers: Bourbon County Vanilla Rye, Bourbon County Cherry Rye, 512 Peach Sour, Cinnamon Roll'd Wake n Bake to name a few! Amazing way to start drinking again after 11+ months!

Peach margaritas in my margarita machine
Busch light/bud light (trashy right,?)lol
I want to broaden my beer horizons...

Sammy K

DH stockpiled some beer for me while pregnant. We just put several New Glarus selections in the fridge along with some Undercover Shut Down by Lagunitas.

For NA, I've been into smoothies lately. Easy way to get fruits and veggies. Add a scoop of protein powder and I call it a meal. Also easy to eat one-handed.

dancegurl1118

@klkonwi I need a margarita machine and I needed it yesterday. Please have 82 for me.

Sucking down a Starbucks Mocha Coconut Frapp...with real coffee, not cream based! So good! Made a stop b/c my pup was good at the vet and the ladies at Starbucks love him. The free puppacino doesn't hurt either! ~O)

katyqv

So much water. And almond milk, love that stuff.

I enjoyed a glass of wine almost every evening after work before getting pregnant. I've tried having a glass a couple times since giving birth and I just haven't had a taste for it. Really hoping that changes because mama needs to enjoy a glass of vino.

Dinner with a Founders All Day IPA. Noms

I might have a glass of cab sav with dinner tonight. Otherwise, it's been water and citrus cooler Gatorade today.

HayesRN13

Bogle Cabernet sav... Every night :-bd

Another Founders All Day IPA right now. Yum
