Was talking to my beer rep the other day, told him that I couldn't drink beer much anymore because of the carbonation. He brought me a 4 pack of Big Foot Ale. It is a barleywine. Really good stuff, very little bubbles. Hoppy like a good ale but a good drinker. Dark amber, pours with some head but not a lot. Did a little research and there are a lot of barleywines out there and all have little carbonation. I was only able to drink about a half of a bottle before I got full, but didn't have a problem with the bubbles. Higher alc. content too, so the buzz was there and good too. If you are missing the beers like I was, this is a good alternative.

You know, I haven't had a drop of alcohol since New Year's Eve (pre-surgery by 8 days then). I don't crave it, but man, the other day I wanted a beer so badly. Being under my goal now, I might start having small little dabbles into nursing a beer on a hot summer day. You've got me thinking of it now, that sounds like a great one to try. Thank you!

Beer doesn't give me any trouble, but those sound delicious! Thanks!

Yeah, and so are you!

And John, thanks for the advice on the beer!

Peeping "Tomasina's"!

The issue I have with Big Foot ale is the 330 calories in a bottle.
