I knew I'd gone crazy when...

Sadly, Beer has become as much about "the chase" as it is about drinking and enjoying.

 

don't worry, they'll brew more. Drink what you have. It probably tastes better now than it will in 5 years anyways.

 

no matter how much i spend, i always drink everything within a month... usually within a week though... the more i have in stock...... the more i drink.......... the happier i am.................

 

I have recently realized that I have been buying to many APA's and IPA's. I have always bought to many stouts, ambers, browns, belgians and barleywines because they are not so time sensitive but lately I have been buying more hoppy beers then I should which makes me drink more then I should.... Which imo is not always a bad thing when the beers taste this good!

 

The chase is fricken' addicting, I'll admit, but ultimately I always remember that the drinking is the primary thing. Limited releases and one-shots are a means to an end; getting and imbibing the libations you always wanted to try.

 

I've spent a little under $500 on "craft" beer in the last two months and have drank only one 4 pack of KBS and a 12 Huna. But now my cellar is starting to look good again. So I guess I've spent $500 on decorations

 

The best beer on earth is the one currently sitting in my glass. Sure, it's nice to have a special treat from the cellar but there's too much beer to be consumed NOW to waste all my money building a big cellar.

 

I do that exact same thing but then I get done with work and grab a beer and say well this is a lot better then no beer.... A beer or six a day keeps the doctor away.

 

Wow buddy you sound exactly like me (except for gf instead of wife).

 

Nothing like telling your wife, "But Honey!" "It's good for my bones!" (Make sure you put your arms out in a pleading way when saying this).

 

When you start splitting your paycheck into four parts. rent, school, bills and BEER.

 

....I walked out of the bottle shop, pushing a shopping cart, with about $200 of beer in it, and realizing that only (1)4pk in the cart was going to remain in this state.

 

You should drink the beer you already bought then go buy more when you're done.

 

Yeah unless your crossing state lines for cheaper prices and dropping off some 90 min to your uncle, id say this is certifieably beer crazy

 

When I told my wife to jump in the car so we could drive 30 miles round trip for me to get a glass of PTY. I need help.

 

this is about where I am at, buying lots of stuff that I intend on holding onto, and or stuff that I just have an almost impossible time opening. I think tomorrow I will be opening one of the expedition stouts your daughter so generously hooked me up with
