Beer belly blues

To reduce my burgeoning beer belly, I cut my weekly beer consumption in half. After three weeks, I am pleased with the results.

My clothes fit just a bit better, I sleep more soundly, and I have more energy in the mornings. Not a bad tradeoff! A few nights a week, I will still enjoy a frosty mug of microbrew - IPAs and imperial stouts especially. But it seemed like the nightly brew was adding up to inches on my waste.

Speaking of beers, I will list some favorite microbrews, in no particular order:

- No-Li Brewing (Spokane) Wrecking Ball imperial stout
- Ninkasi (Eugene, Ore.) Tricerahops double IPA
- 7 Seas Brewing (Gig Harbor) Balls Deep IPA
- Irish Death (Ellensburg, WA) scotch ale
- Full Sail (Hood River, Ore.): all products, but especially the bourbon barrel porter
- Wingman Brewing (Tacoma) imperial porter
- Alaskan Brewing, Hop Thermia double IPA
- Sierra Nevada, Narwhal imperial stout
- Epic (Utah), imperial pumpkin porter
- 21st Amendment (San Francisco) Fireside Chat
- Anderson Valley (Mendocino, Calif.) Hop Ottin IPA
