OMG I discovered the best beer ever! - Page 2

[outlier]

I have been craving beer so much! I'm a little ashamed to admit it. Pre-pregnancy I only drank it once every couple of weeks anyway, but man could I ever use one right now.

I've had several dreams already where I'm drinking a couple ice-cold beers, one after another, and it's amazing and sooo satisfying. Then someone in the dream will say, "Hey, are you supposed to be drinking that?" and I'll remember I'm pregnant and feel horrible. I even wake up feeling completely disappointed in myself.

Unfortunately DH is more of a Rome and Paris kind of guy when it comes to traveling. I am supposed to go to Yellowknife for work April 19-23 but I can't bear the idea of 5 days away from my nursing toddler so probably won't go. I hope another opportunity comes up soon.

Hehehe... we moved *INTO* Bethel from an even more remote village. This is high society! We have... roads! Stop signs! A hospital! Stores with (expennnnnnnnnsive) fresh produce! For the previous three school years, I was in Nunapitchuk, and the two years prior to that, I was in Quinhagak. Quinhagak is by a whole lot of nothing.

I had a dream I was playing HOCKEY (mind you, I haven't played hockey since we played floor hockey in elementary school PE) and suddenly remembered I was preggo.

I'm really going to miss beer during my pregnancy! LOL I'll have to write that one down to try one in October b/w nursing sessions!

My husband and I are red wine enthusiasts and damnit, he managed to find an AMAZING Malbec that I had a sip of and now have to WAIT to drink proper! GRR I told him to buy a case of it and it better not be gone before the baby is born!!

I'm another beer lover, and I miss it sooo much during pregnancy. Wine is ok, but good beer is just awesome. This beer you posted looks like it's worth a try. The site says that it is a tribute to the traditional beer of Cologne--it's called Kolsch, and I only ever had it when I was IN Cologne, but it was *really* tasty. This might sound gross, but over there they have a tradition called Radler, which is basically the local pilsner mixed 50/50 with lemon/lime soda (like Sprite). It's good. mmmm. I should really try that here sometime....

I follow the *very limited* alcohol in pregnancy rule. Just a few sips maybe once or twice a week in the first two trimesters, then a little more in the third trimester. I think I had as much as half a glass in my 9th month last time. I know it's probably fine to drink more, but I worry about it anyway. We are going to the Czech Republic later this week, and they are a big beer country--I'm sad I'm going to miss out on a lot, but I'll be having a few sips here and there for sure.
