Fall beer release = empty pockets

Yeah, the HotD releases and Abyss next month alone are going to hurt. Not to mention Narwhal, the return of BCBS to the Northwest, working out a trade for Boltcutter, and probably a few more that I'm forgetting.

 

Two weeks ago i hit a bottle shop, had a few beers, bought a few bottles, 80$ Last week i bought a case of bells expedition stout - a case of troegs mad elf - just under 120$. Ill certainly score a case of founders backwoods bastard, and a case of some sort of ipa, flower power or green flash west coast ipa Probily around 100-110$, for thanksgiving week.

 

LOL agreed

 

after reading this thread I'm a.) glad my wife is not a part of or able to read this and b.) am NOT going to tally my recent purchases...it may prevent me from future ones....

 

The kaiser
Doggie claws
Pumking
DFH punk
Autumn maple
Jubelale (haven't been able to grab any this year yet)

......and when Abyss comes out, it's all over.

 

Case of Expedition plus six pack,
Case of Ten Fiddy,
2 bottles of Hoppin frog barrel aged pumpkin,
2 bottles of bells....11
6 bottles of pumpking
4 bottles of barrel aged outta kilter
Case of punkin
8 breakfast stout
16 palo santo marron

And yes I'm going hard after a case of backwoods bastard and realize I spend way too much on beer

 

I'm in the same boat as everyone. Here's what I've broke the bank on...

Founders Breakfast Stout
Deschutes Dissident
Cigar City MZ
NG Serendipty
Hoppin Frog Barrel Aged BORIS
NG Enigma
Surly Wet
Bells This one goes to 11
DFH Punkin

And what's left in the bank will be destroyed this weekend by Darkness

 

Fall releases are always hard on my wallet, but its the Christmas beers I usually go overboard on.

 

Yup, I've been spending a ton as well lately.

BCBS x16 bottles
This One Goes to 11 x2 sixers
Founders Harvest Ale x6 bottles
Broo Doo
Moloko (plus had to restock supply of Zombie Dust, Dreadnaught, and Arctic Panzer)
DFH Punkin
FBS x4 bottles (not sure if I'll get more)
Bell's 6 pack sampler from General store (2 2011 Exp Stout, 1 Hell Hath, 1 Third Coast, 1 Porter, 1 java stout)
Surly Wet (1 4 pack)
fresh FW Double Jack 4 pack since it's new to Chicago
Pipeworks Standard Issue IPA and Something Hoppy This way Comes
Trade for Marshal Zhukov, Humidor IPA and White Oak
Plus trying Stone RIS and Espresso Oak aged Yeti for the first time

Now I need to get some Bells 2012 Expedition, Backwoods Bastard, Abyss, and Darkness. Maybe SN Celebration and BCBS varieties soon too. Bolt Cutter if I stumble on it but I probably won't work to find it. Need to find someone to split some Ten Fidy with.

tWife is already complaining that there's too much beer around.

 

Yeah, I've been getting pretty hammered (literally and figuratively) this fall too. So far I've grabbed:

Pumking x12
Breakfast Stout x16
Expedition Stout - sixer
Hoppin Frog Pumkin
Timmerman's Pumpkin Lambicus
Blue Point Pumpkin - sixer
Bitches Brew
Southern Tier Oat
Dead Reckoning x3 (grabbed some with some Tumbler in a mixed sixer)
Tumbler x3
Uinta Oak-Jacked Pumpkin
The Kaiser
Elysian Great Pumpkin x2, Hansel & Gretel, Dark of the Moon
Nosferatu x4
Autumnation x4
Probably some other stuff I'm forgetting

And then I'm hoping to get a case of Mad Elf tomorrow (for splitting, but I'm keeping a sixer), Founders Harvest and SN Narwhal when they hit in Pittsburgh. Also can't wait for Backwoods Bastard to hit. This really is the roughest time of the year on the beer budget.

*Edit - Oh yeah, two bottles of Autumn Maple too.

 

Yeah, pretty much now until may/june it's pretty relentless with seasonals - and a good handful are high gravity, which tend to cost more and/or tend to be my general taste preferences. Bigfoot/Hoptimum/Narwal, Brown Shugga', Mad Elf, BCBS, Old Foghorn, Nugget Nectar, etc. My wallet is always relieved to see the summer seasonals arriving again. But then it's sours season...
