That’s where I’m sittIng too. I’ve been a craft beer geek for years. I told myself when I started Keto that there was no way it was going to work if j couldn’t incorporate beer somehow. I’ve had a couple beers since I started, but I haven’t really “wanted” beer.
What I’m struggling with is the social loss. Being so heavy into craft beer, breweries and taprooms were where I often hung out, and where to know people in my area. That’s been the difficult part. If you’re meeting somone at a bar or restaurant, then you can usually find Keto alternatives. At a brewery? All you have is water (or, I guess I could order it as “pre-beer”)
Thankfully, most of the bottles I have aging in my beer cellar only get better with time, but I still don’t see drinking all of them now. Most will probably end up as gifts to people. And as a reference point for the fellow beer geeks: I’m talking Firestone Walker, De Garde, Propolis, The Bruery, Russian River… really good shit, and ladder years in many of my Firestone.
