    Just under $500 at Russian River. Then another 350 for a hardshell piece of luggage to fly it all back to NJ

    I've spent well over 100 for a week. Now, if we include gas money, thats a completely different story.

    Current record: I believe $105 in SF at a bottle shop while on vacation.

    Hopefully I get to visit HF in March (as I am planning to do) and destroy that mark.

    Your wife being pregnant is the BEST time to drink. You have a DD for 9 months. No going to a bar and saying "OK, who's drinking and who is laying off and driving?" Green light to have drinks when you go out.

    '10, '11, '12 Abyss 6-pack ~$90.00. In '07, '08, '09 I was able to get a case at $12/bottle, $144.00. Totally worth it!

    Every couple months or so i make the trip to HF in Vermont and usually hit up alchemist and Hunger Mountain coop, plus once there happened to be a lawsons farmers market in montpelier the same weekend i went to HF.

    HF-$100-150
    Lawsons-$150 (seared palate was $30 per and bourbon fayston $25 per)
    Alchemist-$120-$150

    That is typically what i spend if i hit all 3 plus if i find anything at the co-op.

    About a month ago I went to Three Floyds and walked out with $75 in beer, and then on the way back I stopped at my usual beer store and picked up 2 sixers of FBS and a bottle each of Parabola and Sucaba. So about $135.

    just shy of $1000. every year around xmas time, i get a bonus and I treat myself to all of the expensive beers at the Binny's down the street from me. these more expensive beers I would not normally get during the rest of the year.
    an example would be some of Mikkeller's rotating or one off releases that range from $15-$30 by me.

    My best haul was from both Five points Bottle Shops in Athens, I dropped a total of $760. It hurt a lot to pay that down but damn if I was happy to have five bottles of Weyerbacher Thirteen in that stash.
