I sometimes wonder if I have a hop allergy, but seem to struggle through :) But if you are consistently feeling bad soon after drinking a beer, you should probably get tested, to see what it might be. Gluten maybe? It's not worth suffering just for beer. Switch to cider, maybe? :)<br /><br />My stash of large bottles grows often, as I cannot justify drinking 750ml of Imperial Stout alone. Even sharing with one person would be enough :DBarry Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07367655129107699025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943606491780538470.post-8070588237110986432016-05-06T17:09:39.456+02:002016-05-06T17:09:39.456+02:00Great post Barry, I'm 29 and I used to drink i...Great post Barry, I'm 29 and I used to drink interesting beers, like you feature on this blog, all the time. I have gut-problems and I started to become adverse to the effects beer was having on my stomach the same and next day, more than 2 pints seemed to cause pain that outweighed the deliciousness, so I stopped almost entirely.<br /><br />Your post has renewed my interest in trying beers again, I think this time though I'll go for a smaller volume, third/half and instead increase the variety.<br /><br />p.s - Your Chimay Blue Grand Reserve 2008 reminded me of the time I tried to conquer one of these [https://definitiveale.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/chimay-grand-reserve-magnum-2010.jpg] with only 1 other person, I dont remember the outcome...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18186535804176036357noreply@blogger.com
