FML.
Earlier this year I suddenly developed an allergy to my favorite type of food: Shellfish. Never had a problem, could always eat it by the ton...then BAM!! Sick as a motherfucker, hives, the whole 9 yards. Never been allergic to any food or medicine in my life.
Couple of nights ago, I'm having dinner, drinking a Hoptober...wake up at 3am BAM BAM BAM! Sickest I've been in years. Wife was actually trying to get me to go to the hospital...thought I was going to Jimi Hendrix on her. :lol:
WTF? If I'm going to become allergic to everything I love it could at least be spaced out a bit. You guys develop any allergies in adulthood?

Are you sure it's the Hops. There are so many elements to the beer it's possible it's another ingredient. A friend of ours can't drink 3 philosophers

Anyone have an Epi pen I have a yard full of hops!! I see a youtube spectacular coming on with this one..

My mother is allergic to fertilizer. If it gets within 20 feet of her she starts getting short of breath. If she doesn't get away from it, it gets really bad. That shit is nasty stuff. This only started a few years ago. Before that she didn't have a problem.

Miztress6, at long last...
Where have you and Steve been all my afterlife? Did he ever get that conical fermenter?
He's allergic to wood.
Hey, that could happen to anybody. Maybe he's just tired.

I had a yard full of hops, but goats ate them. What are you growing?
Ok, enough catch up time.
Kaneman, you aren't allergic to hops. The Hoptober beer is only 40 IBU (International Bittering Units) so, not all that hoppy. For the purposes of clarification and misdirection, IPA's and the like, are topping 80-120 IBU's and higher.
The chances are better, that you are allergic to one, or all, of the malts and wheat in the beer. Try a beer with no wheat, and report back.

Yup I got him the conical :) He has a couple of different stains cascade, fuggle, and two more don't remember which.
The buddy definitely is allergic the allergist confirmed the wood allergywith Scratch tests. I think oak is the worst. He's a shop teacher of all things LMAO!.
What kind of goats do you have? The shop teacher buddy we have has 4 we bought them and dropped them off at his place. He has two normal ones and two fainting ones!
Steve and I are working our asses off and dealing with the dogs and goats and homework but we have found the time to hit beer festivals. The last one we went to was incredible.

Agreed
A friend is allergic to hops, or something in beer. So now its Maker's Mark, Jim Beam, or Woodford Reserve.

I don't think I'm allergic to anything related, but if I eat chocolate and drink beer I will puke like a raging fucking animal.
One night... ate some chocolate cake at a party... got home, went to sleep, woke up and hurled for like 20 minutes... A couple of weeks later... ate some brownies, drank a couple of beers... went to sleep, repeat.
The first time I chalked it up to mixing IPA's with Corona's, Bud Light, and Heineken... The 2nd time I literally had like 4 beers, so I KNEW it was the combo.

um, chocolate and beer don't mix. Unless it's Chocolate Stout.
Otherwise, never, ever, ever....

My uncle started to develop food allergies in his 50's. He was eating pasta and meatballs at a restaurant and keeled over in anaphlactic shock. found out he was allergic to beef, then milk, then all grains, then butter...the list went on till he was allergic to almost every food. He went all over the country to see if he could find answers/help and found he had an auto immune disease. Weird thing is now he can eat all those foods again. He just carried epi pens every where till he could start phasing them back into his diet. He lost like 60 pounds though. CRAZY. I"m sure yours isn't that bad but it would probably be a good idea to get an epi pen just in case.

I don't know what kind of goats they are. Uber-Alpine something or other.
All I know is that they eats hops, and I hate them.
