Low Carb Beer

The increase in carbohydrate awareness is making life interesting, whereas when I commenced my thining streak, nobody really made anything.

Today, whilst searching for eggs in the local Kroger, I stumbled across an offering by Rolling Rock: Rock Green Light..
It is a delightful beer, with only 2.6 carbs a bottle. This makes it an ideal slosher for glugging on when hot.

Or any other time

In my cupboard (remember, I'm an Aussie, beer does not belong in a fridge) I have Michelob Ultra, with 2.6 carbs, the Rock Green Light, and Miller light with 3.4 carbs.. This is great, considering one of my objections to the low carb used to be no beer.... Now I can partake of the pleasures of beer whenever I want. Great Stuff....

For those civilized Americans, who assume that beer is not beer until near freezing, go take a bottle out of the fridge, and leave it somewhere to warm up.... Then take a good deep chug at it.

Until then, you can only dream of the joys of warm beer.

Aunt and uncle on Atkins diet drink that Michelob Ultra. The uncle was having a problem avoiding the beer before finding it; he drives a beer truck for a living. Now he's happy and 40 lbs lighter.

I haven't seen the Rock Green Light yet. Will look, although here in PA I'd have to buy it by the case. Stupid state laws.

I've only had warm beer overseas, I drink MGD or Yuengling here. I had a warm St. Pauli Girl Dark once and nearly gagged.

I have never tried a warm dark beer.. I suppose it would be a bit gross.

I tried a Guiness once. Not my thing.

But, being Canadian, I guess we really can't help but have cold beer

Ha Ha.

Actually, I prefer cold beer on a hot day. Wait, scratch that. I prefer cold beer to semi cold or warm beer.

Guinness ?

I can only drink this as a Car Bomb. For those that do not know what a car bomb is its a glass of Guinness, in a seperate glass (shot glass) is 1/4 Irish Whiskey and 3/4 Irish Cream. Drop the said shot into the Guinness and chug. Its very tasty.

I also vote for cold beer. Matter of fact I have a cold one right here with me. Don't think I could ever drink warm beer. Just doesn't seem right.

"go take a bottle out of the fridge, and leave it somewhere to warm up.... Then take a good deep chug at it."

Then rip a belch the size of Brooklyn, NY. that scares the cat and the old lady next door into heart failure.

Oh POO - I forgot - I don't drink. Really. It makes me plumb stupid.

Belching is more than half the fun.

Drinking can make most people plumb stupid. If I drink too much beer, I get a really silly smile on my face, and I wobble. Other than that, I sleep really easily, sometimes get pointlessly amorous, and often wish I didn't like beer.
