    Every month is different. I went to Vermont last month so that month was over a G. This month will probably be a couple hundred which is average.

    Its pretty easy to get there with dedicated whale chasing and or being a member in a couple of socities. Hell that would probably be a cheap month from the Bruery.

    I binge on buying a bit. Spent maybe 30 bucks last week, then about 200 yesterday (including a few $30 plus bombers of Cascade).

    Too much no doubt

    I can give rough numbers when it comes to store purchases. Factoring in bars, beer at restaurants, beer on trips etc - it would be hard to come up with anything close to an accurate number.

    I have no idea and that doesn't bother me at all.

    I usually have 1-2 beers total Sunday-Thursday, then 3-4 a night on weekends. I buy a beer at a restaurant if I'm out, and bring stuff to friends for parties. I'd guess $120 or less max.

    It used to be much higher - in the 400 a month range. Now, down to 100-200.

    But, Jester King is releasing stuff weekly. And I have 2 others I have to supply to other than myself. So, my bill is going up over summer so far.

    I am generally cutting back. I used to get 6 of every release.

    I'd say around $50/wk, but half of that is when I'm traveling for work and I sample the local brews over dinner (so it's reimbursable!)

    Whatever it takes. If I go to treehouse and trillium it's 150 to 250 each.if I end up in Vermont, who knows. It changes drastically by the month.

    Probably $25 to $30. Figure a 6 packs run $8-15 and usually get 2 at a time.

    I don't buy weekly, usually every 6-8 weeks. Usually spend less than $100, thus my $0-$25 selection.

    I usually make at least one trip per week to the liquor store that ranges from $25-$75. On busier weeks with more releases that could be 3-4 trips.

    I'm up in Maine once a month for work and I usually try to stop at some combination of Maine Beer, Bissell, Allagash, Foundation and those trips usually end up in the $100-200 range depending on how many stops I am able to make.

    Too much, yet somehow not enough.

    I probably should keep track but I really don't. Likely it tends to be more than I should, but in my defense try spending an 8 hour shift working the beer department and not going home with something. And I you can than my hat is off to you :wink:

    Now it seems all too easy to drop at least $200 in a week and probably across a 2 day span. I really ought to take inventory and stop for a while.....

    Since I've started to exercise again on a regular basis I find myself buying no more than a 6 every couple of weeks. I try to not spend more than 10 bucks on a 6. Sometimes it's a little more if I make a mix 6. We have a very good local brewery that sells most of their regular offerings for under 7 bucks a 6 pack! These store purchases are of course supplemented with a few fresh pints when I go out on the weekend. That still usually keeps me in the $0-25 category though. When I brew, an average batch costs me between $30-50. That yields about 2 cases of 12oz. bottles. For every 6 commercial beers I put in the fridge, I usually put in 6 homebrews and then just grab them out randomly unless I'm looking to pair a specific beer with food or mood.

    It's none of your damn business. Wait, did my wife put you up to this?
