    Lots of ways to answer this, but it's really about what's available...

    Just consulted an exchange rate site to check what £10 is in Dollars so turns out I spend exactly $15.48 per week. So that is £40 per month which converts to $61.92...

    I always set a budget and I generally stick to it unless I find something too good to pass up on, but If I over spend one week it comes off the next weeks budget...

    Based on how much a typically spend in a year, I would fall under the $100-$125 range.

    $25-50. But sometimes more. Much, much more. Sometimes less though!

    I brew almost every beer we drink at home, and usually only buy beer out when we're at a brewery. I only buy a 6-12 pack every month or 2 from a local bottle shop, to try new stuff and get inspiration for homebrewing. We drink a 5 gallon keg every 2 weeks or so, so that ends up being around $15-20 a week including a few store bought brews.

    I've found myself drinking a good bit of mead lately too, perfect to drink cold as the thermometer has been creeping up. It's super easy to make and a 6% "session" mead will only run around $10 for 24-30 12oz bottles...making it a pretty good bargain, and better for you than beer!

    I try to buy a couple different ones at a time. Depending on how many I drink after work every day it varies from 25-50 a week.

    I usually try to stay around 25 dollars a week too. I can get away with that by buying "average" beer and singles for the most part, seasonals and only a few bombers. When I do splurge though I have to admit I go way overboard. =)

    Would shipping included be part of a beer expense? I would think so if trading.

    I'm usually two 4 packs or 6 packs a week, so I voted $0-25. That varies based on local releases/trades. For the past month, probably close to $75 a week, with shipping. But I'm thankful for the variety and opportunities it has given me to drink beer I can't get normally.

    I tend to spend more during the winter months when the big beers are flowing. I probably average $75-100 a week and that can get blown up if The Bruery releases alot of beers during the month. This month is tough on the wallet, due to an anniversary sale.

    I have cut back a lot, there was a 2 week period a few months ago that I bought over 40 bombers from a single brewery, ranging anywhere from 10-18$ a bottle.

    Not sure if this has already asked before. Searched here and couldn't find anything. So. . . . ."How much do you spend a month of Craft (and or crap) beer?"
    Any and all statements welcomed here. Please post.
    Thanks.

    $100 - $200.

    Except for the months I brew a batch of homebrew: then it's another $100 or so.

    Too damn much.... Usually between $300-$450 or so. But that's about my only non bill expense. I don't do much else.
