📢 ANNOUNCEMENT 📢

She can grant your wishes, cure your wounds, even bestow untold power, if you’re willing to pay the price. Should you be so brave - or so desperate - you can find her deep in the forest, where even most animals dare not go.

Or so the story goes.

Mamó has long since forgotten herself, and even longer since stopped caring what tales fearful parents tell their children. She remembers not where she came from, the people she knew, nor even her own name.

_

Introducing Forest Keeper, a cozy farming/crafting sim following Mamó, a bog witch who lost her identity long ago in a mysterious fae deal, as she rediscovers herself through caring for others. Forest Keeper allows the player to harvest and craft at their own pace, with an engaging story of familial love, processing grief, and mending ties.

⚗️ Brew potions and hexes for curious patrons. 🌱 Experience self-sufficiency foraging mushrooms and harvesting ingredients on your farm. 🍄 Follow the story and enter Tír na nÓg, the otherworld realm. 🦊 Undo past mistakes and mend ties with a mysterious fae and a guardian fox. 

Forest Keeper is our first chapter of stories honoring Irish Celtic lore and mythology, inspired by our favorite games and the stories we have been told.

Coming to Steam and itch.io end of 2024! Follow our development journey on itch and join our Discord!

And yes, you can pet the fox.

Low Carb Beer Guide UK

Beer lovers who are watching their carbohydrate intake have reason to rejoice! Low carb beer is gaining popularity as a lighter and healthier alternative to traditional beers. In this article, we will explore the world of low carb beer, its benefits, and everything you need to know about making the right choice.

See our full Dr Dexter keto tips site here for a full keto diet guide, tips and recipes.

Introduction to Low Carb Beer

Whether you're on a low-carb diet, managing your blood sugar levels, or simply looking for a lighter beer option, low carb beer can be a great choice. With fewer carbohydrates and calories compared to regular beers, it allows you to enjoy a refreshing drink while being mindful of your health goals.

What is Low Carb Beer?

Low carb beer is a type of beer that is brewed to have a reduced carbohydrate content. Brewers achieve this by using special brewing techniques or substituting traditional grains with low-carb alternatives. The result is a beer that is lower in carbohydrates but still retains its distinct flavour and characteristics.

The Benefits of Low Carb Beer

Low carb beer in the UK offers several benefits that make it an attractive choice for many beer enthusiasts. Firstly, it allows you to indulge in your favourite beverage without worrying about the excess carbs. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals following low-carb or keto diets.

Moreover, low carb beer is often lower in calories compared to regular beer, which can be advantageous for those looking to maintain or lose weight. Additionally, it may have a lower alcohol content, making it a more suitable option for those who prefer a milder buzz.

Understanding Carbohydrates and Beer

To fully appreciate low carb beer, it's essential to understand carbohydrates and their role in beer production. Carbohydrates in beer primarily come from the malted barley used during the brewing process. These carbs are consumed by yeast during fermentation, leading to the formation of alcohol and carbon dioxide.

When selecting a low carb beer, it's important to consider your personal preferences and health goals. Start by checking the nutritional information provided on the label or brewery's website.

Low Carb Beer and Weight Loss

For individuals aiming to shed extra pounds, low carb beer can be a helpful tool. By reducing the carbohydrate and calorie intake from beer, you can create a calorie deficit and potentially support weight loss efforts. However, it's crucial to keep moderation in mind and consider the overall balance of your diet.

Low Carb Beer and Diabetes

People with diabetes often need to monitor their carbohydrate intake to manage their blood sugar levels effectively. Low carb beer can be a suitable choice for individuals with diabetes, as it provides a beer option with fewer carbohydrates that are less likely to cause blood sugar spikes.

Low Carb Beer and Blood Sugar Levels

Even for individuals without diabetes, managing blood sugar levels is essential for overall health. Low carb beer can help maintain stable blood sugar levels since it contains fewer carbohydrates. However, it's still important to consume alcohol in moderation and be aware of any individual reactions.

Low Carb Beer and Taste

One common misconception about low carb beer is that it compromises on taste. However, many breweries have invested in creating flavourful low carb options that can rival traditional beers. With a wide range of styles and flavours available, there's likely a low carb beer that suits your taste preferences.

Low Carb Beer and Hangovers

Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to unpleasant hangovers, regardless of the beer's carbohydrate content. While low carb beer may be gentler on the body due to its lower alcohol content, responsible drinking practices and moderation are still crucial to minimize the risk of hangovers.

Low Carb Beer and Alcohol Content

Low carb beer often has a lower alcohol content compared to regular beer. This can be advantageous for individuals who prefer a milder buzz or those who want to limit their alcohol intake. However, it's important to note that alcohol content can vary among different brands and styles of low carb beer.

Drinking Low Carb Beer Responsibly

When enjoying low carb beer, responsible consumption is key. Set personal limits, be mindful of your alcohol intake, and always prioritize your health and well-being. Additionally, consider alternatives such as non-alcoholic or alcohol-free beer if you prefer to avoid alcohol entirely.

Is Low Carb Beer for Everyone?

While low carb beer can be a great option for many individuals, it may not be suitable for everyone. It's important to consider your specific health needs, dietary restrictions, and personal preferences. If you have any concerns or health conditions, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional before making changes to your beer consumption.

Sustainability Values through Coffee

Welcome to Greenway Brews, where your cup of coffee is brewed with purpose and a pinch of eco-consciousness. Nestled along Waterford's Greenway route, we’re more than just a coffee stop. We're a pitstop for families, adventurers and a sustainability hub for anyone seeking to make a difference with each sip.

Our Green Philosophy

Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword here; it’s the backbone of everything we do. From our repurposed container café to our eco-friendly packaging, every detail is designed with the planet in mind. Our mantra? Small changes, big impact. At Greenway Brews, we're dedicated to making changes to better the world; one cup at a time!

Coffee Grounds: Not just for your cup

Did you know your used coffee grounds can be a superpower for your garden? Here at Greenway Brews, we offer our used coffee grounds for our patrons to take home. Coffee grounds are rich in nitrogen, making them ideal for plant beds and compost piles. Our community loves this little recycling tip—give it a try!

Did you know? GREEN EDITION

"Three-quarters of Irish coffee consumers want their coffee to be sustainable. 65% own a reusable cup, with 23% saying they will sacrifice a caffeine hit if they have forgotten their reusable cup"- Liquidline Ireland

"One in three Irish people now buys a coffee at least once a day – an increase of 10 per cent on the previous year according to a 2017 survey of 1,011 people"- Jennifer O'Connell The Irish Times

"22,000 coffee cups are discarded hourly in Ireland, equating to 528,000 cups daily, which totals at 200 million annually"- Ecoset Founders Oscar & Sarah

"In 2021, Bewley's Coffee Consumption Report found that 78% of Irish adults drank coffee each day"- Adam Maguire RTÉ

Sustain-a-Brew; What we do to make changes

Reduce, Reuse, Reward!

We encourage consumers to bring their own reusable cups by giving them a discount on their coffee. This tiny incentive helps to minimize the amount of disposable cups used on a daily basis, reducing waste and encouraging environmentally responsible practices

Compostable & Recyclable Packaging

All of our takeout cups, lids, straws, and food packaging are completely compostable or recyclable. We're dedicated to ensuring that every aspect of your takeaway experience has as little environmental impact as possible

Fair Trade Coffee & Locally Sourced Ingredients

To lower our carbon impact and help the Irish economy, we prioritise purchasing our products from fair trade coffee vendors. Buying local, from milk to baked goods for our snack range guarantees fresher ingredients and fewer food miles

Energy-Efficient Practices

Our store has been equipped with energy-efficient lighting and appliances, which cuts energy use by up to 20%. To further reduce our environmental effect, we train our team on energy-saving techniques such as shutting off equipment when it is not in use

Eco Friendly Swaps you can make at Home

Making sustainable choices at Greenway Brews is easy, but there are so many little tweaks you can try at home too. We recommend reusable cups, ditching plastic straws, and using re-usable containers instead of disposables / tin foil. Looking to start your sustainability journey? Check out the poster below for some simple starting points to living a more sustainable lifestyle

Sustainable Brunch Boxes at Greenway Brews

Our Brunch Boxes are crafted for families, adventurers, cyclists, and picnic-lovers alike. Filled with locally sourced goodies, they’re ideal for anyone looking to refuel on the go. Pre-order for your family's day-trip, or swing by to grab one for your trip along the Greenway. Each eco-friendly box is made from 100% recyclable material, ensuring minimal impact on the planet. Enjoy a delicious, guilt-free experience knowing your meal is as green as your adventure.

You can find more information on our products and services in our recent blog post here

Final Sip: Making Sustainability Simple

At Greenway Brews, we believe in simple, meaningful changes—one cup at a time. Whether you're here for a quick coffee, a family outing, or to stock up on eco-tips, we're thrilled to have you join our journey to a greener, healthier planet.
