    My average beer run is usually 6-10 bottles and I try to keep the price under $30. I am curious how much others are spending on average and what do you usually buy?

    I really don't keep track or limit myself too much, but rarely buy what I consider overpriced bottles. My monthly outlay on beer is probably ~$300-400

    $22.50 or so. That only gets me a couple of sixers. I do that twice a week.

    I stock up every run because my sources are so far away and I never know how long it will be until the next run. By the time I get back home I've usually spent well over $100 for beer. Thanks, all you Oklahoma legislators...arschlöcher.

    I buy based on what I feel like drinking that evening or weekend and only stock up if I come across something rare to my area. So my typical run is a four or six-pack, always under $20, three or four times a month.

    I usually go once a week, every friday, when binnys releases their limited seasonals. on average I spend about 40-60 dollars sometimes more. I've only been into craft beer for a year. So I pretty much gotta have all the limited seasonals every week and tick em. It's becoming quite expensive :grimacing:

    I put $25-50 but its hard to say. If you mean "beer run" as a random stop off to get a six pack then its about $10, if its a stop at a liquor store in a market that gets a lot of stuff I don't see in StL then it can easily be $100+

    varies. Usually about $18-$22 per bomber. Buy anywhere between 2-6 per run. $ per month varies as well. In Dec-Feb, I spend well over $500/month. Then it tapers, and I live off my stash for a while. Right now, I'm probably at around $300/month.

    Beer run to me implies going to stock up. 3 figures easy.

    0-25 I have a lot of great places to get really good beer here so I don't really grab a bunch at one time.

    $100 - $200 per run, I live in rural Minnesota and I can't get much of anything at the local store (except for Hamm's).

    Need more options in the $75+

    Maybe some of you live in very urban areas where you go on foot, or go very often because it's convenient. I only manage once per week and I'll almost never get less than a case for the house - self, spouse, friends, family.

    I set out with the intent of spending $20-30, but that doesn't last long...

    I do go on foot sometimes but when I do I only get a bomber or sixer because I have to cross a busy street and I dont want to carry too much stuff. One time I saw a guy riding a bicycle holding a 12 pack and I was like "wow really ?"

    If it was up to me....100..maybe 200 a month but with family and school...more like 20 - 50 a month if not less. Budget is tight so I take it seriously when I'm at the liquor store. I could spend 30 minutes or more in the liquor store just trying to decide what to buy :grimacing: since there is so much out there and I love trying something new with every trip.

    I'm in the 25-50 range. My last run was 3 bombers and its was like 35-40 bucks. I haven't touched any of them yet lol. Sometimes I spend quite a bit more, but that's when I don't have weeks where I'm spending too much in trades.

    When I go out "buying beer" not just grabbing a six pack or two, its usually above 75... more like 300
