    I guess I could have put some higher numbers in there I wasnt taking into account a large monthly run, I usualy go once a week, but if I added it all up in a month it would be in the 100-200 range

    Always more than I plan on spending when I leave the house. Without fail... every time.

    I can hit 3 stores in about an hour and drop 50 - 60. I probably do that once a week.

    A typical beer run is for a six-pack or 2, maybe a 4-pack or 2, or a combination of both. So that goes $10-20, maybe once a week.

    However, most of my beer volume comes in big hauls for/when I travel; e.g. when I drive down to Chicago or to Minneapolis or Michigan or even fly to Philly, visit bottle shops and do trades, and haul home a bunch of Pipeworks or Deschutes or Surly or Russian River or something I can't get down here in WI. And for these trips I can easily spend $75-125 at a time. Then I don't do the typical beer runs I mentioned above for a while. Phew. This tends to happen once a month or every other month.

    I keep it between $25 - $40 every week or two. Unless it's a 3 Floyds run. Then it's $75 easily.

    Depends on where I'm going. I spend about $25 everytime I go to my local craft store, and about $90 whenever I go to my local Andersons

    These days I usually roll up at like Whole Foods once a week and buy two or three four packs or sixers and then break them down amongst coworkers who want to try the stuff too. So I may spend, like, $36 but by time I sell some of it out I'm left with $18 in beer or whatever. Tomorrow though I plan on going out to a singles store to grab stuff I normally can't find and drop $50 easy I imagine.

    Recently saw a guy cycling a bike down the street from The Kernel with a 12 case (used for 500ml bottles) perched on the handlebars.

    Every week after I cash my pay check I head straight to the beer store. I usually pick up 10-16 beers to last me the week. I'll end up dropping $20-30.

    I usually do my run hoping to find something new, so i never actually know what im getting. I usually end up with at least 2 singles, 1 or 2 bombers, a 4 pk, and a 6. there are 3 really nice stores on one street so i at least buy something from each just to support the craft industry. $40-$60 a week
