    Ughhh... I thought I was going to be on the low side of things. I am buying for two though.

    Enjoy

    More than I should, not as much as I'd like to...

    $75-100. I do entertain a lot though, so I'm not drinking all of it. Ok, I'm actually just entertaining myself most nights.

    Between 25 and 50, sometimes I go credit card crazy (like last weekend) and spend 200 dollars in one trip to the store. Never regret it :stuck_out_tongue:

    i'm sometimes really astounded by that as well, i have a bunch of friends that i know make about the same as i do a year and, which is not that much, and they spend more on cellar beer then i spend on drinking beer in a year, while also drinking as much as i do.

    I spend about average $5-10 a week in China on brews, and in the U.S. about $10-15. Not much.

    This really makes me feel better about my ability to budget for beer. I usually only spend 10-15 dollars a week, sometimes nothing at all if I'm still sitting on beers from a special release.

    Definitely depends. $50 - $75, but keep in mind that beer is crazy expensive up here in the Great White North!

    25-50 a week but I am trying to cut back. It's only gotten worse though since I have started trading here on BA.

    Average $200 - $300 a week on bottles and $50 - $100 when going to breweries (I do share most of the beers with the gf). I primarily only drink barrel aged stouts though. To give you an idea, this is what my fridge looks like right now:

    and shelf turds in the drawer to go between stouts on hot days:

    $25-50 for sure, and that is even in American dollars. I usually dip down to NY about once a month, so that helps.

    Bought a bunch on my last road trip to Belgium at 1.59 euro or $1.73 a bottle. I felt it was important to rub that salt in your wounds there brother...

    I don't want this to sound bad, but if you are spending $13,000 a year on beer ($250 x 52 weeks), you are either seriously wealthy or in need of an intervention.

    Since my last post in this thread I think I have averaged roughly 30-50$ a week, there has been some weeks that I haven't bought any beer :grimacing:. No as far as my other hobbies go, don't ask.

    Probably the later. =P ..... I wouldn't consider myself rich by any means, but I pay my bills on time and I only spend what I can afford on what makes me happy (cars and beer). I do splurge on both, but that's because they are enjoyable....and if you think that is a lot to spend on beer, then you really don't want to know how much I spend on my car.

    I may stock up one week and spend $50 and spend nothing the next. On average, probably around $90-100/month (except on NASCAR weekend-like a couple weeks ago at Dover-then no hold barred spending spree!)

    Much like my internet browser history, I hope to take what I spend on beer with me to the grave. Hopefully the wife never finds out
