I've seen this at Trader Joe's. The packaging and price point seemed enough to deter me, but I'm sure I would have tried it eventually. Thanks for the heads up. :cross:

Came here to post the exact same story. New York is heading full steam ahead to becoming a Nanny State.

+1 if you get your diet under control you'll win the battle, working out is secondary when it comes to shedding weight.

I've done all of these activities while sober. Just putting that out there. I work out 5/6 days a week and struggle to keep my weight down with as much beer as I consume (5'10" 180lbs). But, I enjoy working out as much as I enjoy brewing and consuming beer. So, I can't complain. :tank:

I had this same problem with the IPA I brewed awhile back. It's only been in the bottle for about 6 weeks but the hop flavor has definitely dropped since tasting the first beer at 3 weeks.

Sitting at work hungover today, this thread made my day!! I can't really contribute yet as I haven't brewed enough to make any epic mistakes. But, I'm sure I'll be sharing one day.

Welcome, there seem to be quite a number of NYC metro area brewers here.
