Oktoberfest Beer Diet - Year Three!Tomorrow marks the third time I've attempted the Oktoberfest* version of The Beer Diet. For the next 31 days, all of my calories will come from sausage and craft beer.
My special twist this year -- I like to mix it up a bit -- is to try and use growlers as my primary beer source. Arizona has really warmed up to the idea of growlers, and there are no less than three places I can get a fill on my way home each day. Not that I'll
need to fill up each day. 64 ounces of beer goes a long way. Based on my math, I'l need to fill up both growlers about every day and a half to keep on track.
No, I'm not carrying growlers to work with me. Though I did buy some nifty holsters that I could wear like across my chest like bandoliers. Instead, I'll decant my day-time dosage in a chub and a 12 oz. cobalt blue stopper bottle. That should get me through the afternoon, so I can wrap up at home that evening.
At least that's the plan. As happens on the Beer Diet, change is often necessary. But to start, I've got my beer and I've got my sausage cooked. Let's do this!
*Yes, I know that Oktoberfest started in September. No one likes a nerd, so be quiet.
