    So you have just won the billion dollar powerball lottery! What beer adventure do you immediately plan? Plan to start a brewery? Months long excursion visiting breweries all over the country or world? Head to the bottleshop for those bottles you never pull the trigger on?

    Hire my own personal beer buyer and fly him around in a helicopter to wait in all the lines for me... While I sit in my mansion

    Lol I was imagining this the other night...

    Definitely a beercation ...and go insane with a cellar.
    I love the idea of starting a brewery for wild beers only but I just don't have enough knowledge and wouldn't wanna be that guy that just has money but doesn't know shit. So maybe some education would be an order.

    Although Maybe I'll just settle with a opening relaxing bottle shop with a super good selection or a taproom..

    Dreaming is worth the 2$ for a ticket lol.

    I would **** the mybeer collectibles and mybeer cellar websites. They would be empty.

    I would start a hop farm and enjoy every minute of it. You will find me sitting on the back porch watching everyone else do the work.

    Can't afford to buy Ballast Point at $1B, but will be able to afford their $14 six packs.

    Start planning those beer-cations: to Belgium, England, California (for those of us who are East Coasters), etc.

    Open up a Bed and Breakfast/ small brewery and spa combined somewhere in the mountains with a huge deck overlooking a beautiful stream full of trout. You all will be invited!

    Road trip through the entire united states hitting every one of the hyped breweries I can. Knock off the entire top 250 and any other whale not on the list. Buy a few houses in great beer regions and just enjoy life.

    I don't play the lottery because I believe in working for what you earn, but if I had that much money the first thing I'd do is build or buy a $5 million dollar cabin near Aspen, Colorado. It would have a huge deck facing the West for sunsets every night, where I'd be drinking my favorite beers. Side plans include travelling the county in a new RV to various breweries everywhere. But like I said, I will not buy a ticket, I'll just keep earning my money. :slight_smile:

    I'd have to be pretty drunk already to buy a lottery ticket.

    I would build a beer storage facility in my area and buy different sizes of storage barrels. to
    store beers for brewers who do not have the capacity to do so.nice dreams. I know little about it
    but with that $, let others make decisions .

    No doubt open a brewery or an artisanal small restaurant with an incredible tap list. Before I do that take a few trips around the world sampling beers, for inspiration of course.

    New house, large coldbox to store beer. And definitely flying everywhere to get beer.

    I would open several Pubs in different cities (Boston, NYC, Chicago, Madison, WI), create a holding company that would buy several breweries including Naragansett Brewing, take regular vacations to Belgium & Germany and hire my own personal Cicerone to keep up up on everything beer.

    Go to Germany, Belgium, Czech Republic travel around to different locales and drink regional beers that we can't get here in the U.S. Charter a plane so I can load it up with cases of the good stuff on my way home.

    I think I would contemplate buying Tree House brewery this way I could have all the beer I want from them.

    EDIT: I would also take a long trip to Brussels and drink as much Cantillon as I want. And I would buy a ski house in the Stowe, VT area and make frequent trips to The Alchemist and Hill Farmstead.
