Do you spend too much on your beer hobby?

I shoot for $50 a month but usually hit closer to $100.

 

yes, you all do. trust me

 

I've really got to dial it back, dropped at least $300 this month. though $80 is muling back bcbbw to virginia for friends.

 

LMAO!

 

This topic has been brought up...many times. Please search on google or on BA. You will find your answer to your question.

 

Yup sadly but I've been trying to cut back. Stupid releases!!!!

 

Probably close to $100 on average. It's within my means saving up for a car and I get plenty of recent releases and old standbys mixed in.

 

I've done pretty good so far this year. I haven't bought nearly the amount of new releases as I have in the past and if I do buy anything new it's usually just one or two bottles, not a 6er.

 

Sounds like this girlfriend has what it takes to be a wife. Wait til you start finding creative ways of hiding empty bottles in the trash. When you do that, you'll be ready to become a husband.

 

I spend more on beer a month than gas, and I have a 40 minute commute. Plus I only drink about a beer a day.

Perhaps the fact I'm cracking $20 bottles 3 or 4 times a week is a little ridiculous yes. This is why I don't have savings.

 

I spend at least $200/month. The key to keeping my wife happy; she doesn't complain about my beer spending, I don't complain about her $200 purses or haircuts

 

I have a highly addictive behavior. Probably spent about $300 this week. I have a nice stash saved up for a month but knowing me, I'll go out and buy more

 

If you're an active member on this site odds are you spend too much $$$ on beer/brewing.

 

My beer bill is more than my car payment!

 

I've found that the trick is to actually bring her along and have her take part in the fun of trying and buying new brews. She may still roll her eyes when I come home with several "finds", but she kinda gets it now. Two heads are better than one.

 

And then, one day, Young Padawan realized the error of his ways...

 

So...no one spent $150 this week on beer? My excuse is that I'm recently three months cigarette free and I'm rewarding myself.

 

Last month I ended up with
4 cases of separate almanac sours (1 case this month already)
1 case of cascade
1 case of The Abyss
1 case Sucaba
plus random beers………

I don't feel great about it.

 

$100-350/month range depending on what I know is releasing, and what my local beer stores call me on with new product and surprise/empty my wallet! LOL! I need to get back to guitar collecting/building. At least they're worth something at the end of the day. Beer is my adult version of baseball cards to me. Completely worthless as time goes on.
