    Between all the releases this fall, I am finding myself down a couple hundred bucks. So many good things are coming out all at once and I am a sucker for them every time. So far, I have purchsed the following:

    BCBS (x4)
    Oscar Blues Ten Fidy
    Bells Expedition stout
    Lagunitas Brown Shuggah
    Pumking x 13
    Reunion ale x 5 (love this beer)
    NG serendipity
    Hinterland Bourbon Barrel dopplebock
    Upland Teddy Bear Kisses
    Bells This one goes to 11 (only 2 bottles)
    Bells double cream stout
    Sierra Nevada Hoptimum
    Sierra Nevada Narwhal
    Founders Breakfast stout x4

    Thats what I can think of... and I know founders backwoods bastard is just around the corner and bolt cutter right after that. Im sure there is a harvest ale of two that I cant think of that I picked up (never saw founders?), but is there anything anyone can add to the list of things that you just couldnt pass up on even though you had already spent too much money on beer that month?

    We don't have fall in Florida, but we did get some fall greats you mentioned in your list. I would add these though:

    CCB Good Gourd
    CCB White Oak
    CCB MZ
    CCB Sweet Imperial Stout Aged in Cognac Barrels
    CCB Leon (didn't get any bottles of this but i sure enjoyed it on tap)

    This fall is fucking KILLING me. So far, without anything else coming out, it's been CCB Marshal Zhukov, Leon, and Cognac Barrel Sweet Stout along with BCBS... Then on the immediate horizon are The Abyss, Mother of All Storms, Bourbon County varieties, Hill Farmstead's Twilight of the Idols and Birth of Tragedy, Black Tuesday, Victory at Sea, and god knows what the fuck else.

    Hahaha, I'm going broke just by stopping by my neighborhood beer spot too often to see if the Founders Harvest has landed, finding that it hasn't, and thinking, "Well, since I'm already here..."

    It's been kinda crazy for me too. But in all honesty, it never really let's up. I just got done with getting the Sour Reserve, This One...11, Extra Sour, Moloko, BrooDoo, got some Lindley Park on a trade and let's not even begin with the fall releases of bourbon! I'm still about to get BCBS, Black Tuesday, Bolt Cutter (who isn't?), and whatever else I can get on trade. MOAS for example.

    And for the others. Ive bought FBS, BASC, Lindley Park, Zhukov x2, and Good Gourd.

    Coming up I have to grab GLBC Christmas Ale/Blackout, Backwoods Bastard, Silent Night, BCBS, and BA Naked Evil (the last two are a trade).

    Just this next few weeks: Darkness Day (x12), Town Hall Anniversary Week (at least 2 growlers, probably 4, plus a dinner or two), The Abyss. That'll take care of $300 or so right there.

    I blew $300 in Atlanta this weekend between two shopping trips. Picked up a bunch of random stuff including lots of beers from Lost Abbey and Port Brewing that we don't get in neighboring South Carolina. Lots of corked and caged bottles from LA and also Uinta's Crooked line.

    Fall seasonals I've bought (or traded for)...
    Bell's Expedition Stout
    Bell's Third Coast Old Ale (haven't picked up any for the cellar yet, but it'll be there for a while)
    Schlafly's Pumpkin Ale
    ST Pumking
    Founders Breakfast Stout
    Founders Harvest Ale
    Bell's Hell Hath No Fury Ale
    Cigar City Marshall Zhukov
    FFF Moloko

    still waiting to buy...
    GI BCBS (at least $100 worth - which as we all know isn't as much as it sounds like)
    GI Madame Rose
    FFF Broo Doo
    Ten Fidy (OB just started distributing here. I'm told this'll arrive in a few weeks - I'm stoked to try it)
    Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout (it's so good and so damn cheap, why not buy it?)
    Arcadia Barrel-Aged Cereal Killer (not sure how hard this will be to get)
    Founders Backwoods Bastard
    Founders Bolt Cutter (probably won't get any, but I'll certainly buy it if I can)

    Oh Lord. Now that I see this list, it's hitting me just how much this is costing me. :grimacing:

    Don't forget - you traded with me for some Schlafly's Pumpkin Ale. That's another fall seasonal you left off your list!
