    Not much.

    I don't think I've paid more than $20 at once yet. My highest is probably $16, the last time I went.

    Mine is over $300 and it makes me feel shameful and dirty, but it was the armand'4 in the box plus a Schaerbeekse, a Lou Pepe, and a few others.

    C'mon man! You need to step up and do your part. Drinking for two may not be easy, but it's the right thing to do.

    As great as that suggestion may seem, I'd rather not be in contention for douchebag husband of the year.

    $600. My first visit to Shorts back when they had the 750 series. My father-in-law wanted to pick up the tab until he saw the total. Threw me $50 instead.

    I heard them say something that I thought sounded like 54 fills was the most when I was there Friday. I felt like I needed to step it up I only got 10.

    $102 for 6 bottles of (512) Bourbon Barrel Aged Double Pecan Porter.

    Other than that, unless there's a special release, usually under $30. I buy beer like my grandmother goes to the grocery store: daily. Every once and a while, I'll pick up a case if its' a beer I really like and there's no bottle limit.

    A typical trip is somewhere around $20-$30, unless i'm just running out for ONE thing (okay, so a lot of them START that way.....)

    Biggest including trades is probably around $200, biggest for myself only is probably around $125.

    Including travel and what-not, easily north of $1000. I fear (hope!) that I spend more than that at Kuhnhenn's Winter Solstice this year....:grinning::grimacing::grinning:

    486.00 this past weekend in VT. 8 HF growlers, 6 HF 750ml, 5 bottles of Lawson's Finest, 2 bottles of Maine Beer, and 15 4-packs of Heady Topper.

    This doesn't include the many pints I threw down at Parker Pie.

    Lol that's outrageous. I had like 24 750s between my buddy and I from the festival. The car was noticeably weighed down.

    Yah, add about 6 cases of Heady to that and see how your gas mileage fares on the way back compared to on the way up.
