    Not counting Bruery Reserve Society...Damn that gets expensive. I can say, $200. When I travel, I try to bring back the memories, and share with loved ones.


    Reserve Society, over $300.

    I had 2 cases. It definitely wasn't as good, but it didn't go down too much. Thought it was going to be worse considering how much slower the car felt.

    I have mixed feeling on how I would like it is my wife were into beer. On one hand it would be nice to share with her, on the other hand it would take an already expensive hobby and double the cost.

    It's absolutely amazing you can even fit that much in that lil clown car of yours.

    Biggest haul was about $100 when stocking up the beer fridge and a few for the cellar. Since I buy more IPAs than anything else, I seldom spend more than $30 a normal trip.

    My wife is fairly into beer, and we either just buy our own or split the cost of various bottles/6-12pks/etc. A fine system if I say so myself.

    As for most expensive beer haul, probably not much as I have yet to attend any release events or anything. I want to say "only" $80-90, but I usually buy some here and there during the week as opposed to a big haul once a week, or whenever. I also don't drink everyday so that helps.

    Definitely an Alpine haul. $140. But that buys you a ton of beer at Alpine.

    I'm very fortunate that I work in wholesale beer/wine so I get my stuff at a discount. For limited/allocated items though, I have to buy off the shelf like everyone else.

    Well over 100. A combo of Pliny/Alpine/ and various other SC great IPA's. A case of bombers.

    Dropped $280 on my last trip to Hill Farmstead. Pretty sure that is my biggest, but the fact that it was all in cash probably made it seem worse.

    Every time I go to Vermont I spend close to $400. Ugh! Love the beer though.

    At a single store, I'd say it was around $250. In a day, easily more than $400 if I'm beer shopping out of town and I'm buying brews that aren't available in my area.

    I'm afraid to go to VT, which I will in a round about way to Fort Drum. Before Xmas. Without my wife. Should be interesting if i get into Lawsons and HF. HT is a given.
