    I prefer the knock 'em back approach regardless of the mood I'm in.

    Weekly, love trying new stuff but nothing beats a great beer over and over again!

    Usually one per week, I tend to pick up something new every time I'm at the store. I'm only drinking on the weekends though so that is part of why it's so low.

    I like to try new beers whenever possible. I usually only drink something new if I'm relaxing at home or drinking in a bar that is fairly relaxed. If I'm out with a lot of people I usually don't want to think too much about what I'm drinking like a do with new beers.

    As often as I can. I've only been drinking beer for three and half years and have not found a particular style or brewery that I would want to settle down with.

    I continue my journey which so far has been filled with wonderful and memorable beer from all over the globe. Though, yes, things seems to indicate that I have a penchant for German and Belgian brews. And why not.

    Usually at least once a week. It depends on what I have.

    I try to have a few new beers per week. I usually get at least one bottle everytime I make a purchase. It helps that I work in a beer store so I have access to new/rare beer all the time at reduced prices.

    Cheers!

    I probably average somewhere between 5-10 new beers a month. I used to try a lot more but i don't try as many new because I know the styles/beers I prefer so I'd rather just drink those. Cheers

    I have a real issue with walking into a liquor store and getting a bunch of beer that I don't need just to be trying new stuff :grinning:

    Like many here i also am pretty much a weekend drinker. I try to buy something new each time i buy beer. I research and read about some of the highest rated beers here and create my wants list from there. I keep my wants list on my phone and kind of use that as my shopping list.

    I guess pretty much all the time. Just got back from my local hangout. Bought two mix sixers of 12 different beers, plus two 32 oz growlers of beer I have never tried before along with a couple 22oz new beers and a 750 of a new sour I haven't tried yet. I got me some drinking to do. Guess I tick a bit....:astonished:

    I must say I very much resort to trying new crafts simply because I've only now recently become more grounded into my current location in Southern California. Great crafts abound yes but previous to this I was out traveling and got to taste some of the more esoteric crafts around the country and indeed for a time outside USA. The new stuff I'm trying now is more centralized to one location ironically. Went to Trader Joes the other day almost got Mission St. or is it Mission Hill IPA? I ended up getting the new Enjoy By from Stone Brewing. The Tangerine IPA with a 10.31.2016 date on it. Bottled Sep. 26th! Very good. Should I ever return would anyone recommend I get the Mission St. IPA a try?

    After being serious into the craft beer scene for almost 2 1/2 years, I find that I am not trying as many new beers like I was in the first year or so. I did, however, manage to try 40 different beers new to me in September and I was happy about that although many of them were mediocre. A few that stood out were CCB Marshall Zhukov, Alewerks Jubille Rare, FW Velvet Merkin, Westbrook Gose and a few other nice ones !!

    I try a new beer every Thursday, and a few times on the weekend. So frequently.
