    I checked 3 times per week. I may not buy all three times, though. Since liquor stores can be connected to grocery stores, I wander through the beer selection almost every time I shop.

    Do you all have a favorite go-to beer store? I tend to stick with the one right up the street from my house. Luckily their beer selection is adequate.

    I don't buy beer every time I go. Sometimes I get only a couple of cigars, sometimes I buy nothing (yes I know this pisses off some beer store owners that I dare to leave without making a purchase, and I mention this despite completely not caring about that)

    Once a week on Thursday to get beer for the weekend.

    I have been going directly to the brewery most often now (trillium/tree-house/proclamation) and then trading for others, when I do go to the beer store 1-2 times a month I will typically look for either rarer beers or ones that do not need to sit longer

    CBC is nice though when I am in a state that has this store, I will get whatever beers I find there since more often they do have fresh/recent dates

    This. Well, except for the cigars. :stuck_out_tongue:

    I usually buy beer maybe once or twice a week, but I go to the "beer store" several times a week. There are a couple of area HyVee stores with excellent craft beer selections, and I feel obligated to spend at least half an hour browsing every time I go to the store.

    Once or twice a week. 95% of the beer I buy lasts less than a week.

    I would like to go about twice a week, but seeing as I no longer drink during the week, I only need to go about once every 2 weeks for purchasing my main drinkers. But, in reality I usually hit the store about 1-2 times a week to window shop and splurge for the cellar.

    Beer store... once a month, maybe twice every once in a while. I use to a lot more often, but now I just go directly to the source (breweries) most of the time for my growler fills and bottle pick-ups.

    Is this like the question they ask at the doctors office? "How many beverages do you consume?" And they are taught to double whatever you say..:wink:I go to all 3 in my 4 mile radius and usually buy something at one of them. Lately single bottles to age and a few IPAs to enjoy until my next visit in 3-4 days.

    Used to go once or twice a week until tired hands started releasing cans. I just go to releases and trade for most of the beer that I get nowadays. Ill still go every now and again if my liquor store has something good at the crowler station though

    I have 2 really good shops within legit walking distance from me. I like to pop into each at least once a week as they carry different local breweries. I might stop in more if I know something specific is being released on a certain day. I'm mostly a singles, just-in-time consumer though, so I rarely buy more than a bomber or tow or a 4-pack at a time (especially if I'm walking).

    Whenever I can. I work shift work so there are times I'll go a week without going, and there are times that I'll go 3 or 4 times a week.

    I work 14 days and I'm off for 14 in stretches, so there are days with no drinking, and there are days with quite a bit of drinking.

    Tuesdays at dusk unless it follows a Monday holiday, and then on weekends (Friday or Saturday) either immediately after opening at 10 am, or very quickly just 5 minutes before closing.

    Seriously, why does the survey go:
    Every day... 1-2 times a week... then... 3+ times a week (which is almost every day!)... and then Once every two weeks - I go once a week but that's not really an option other than "Other?".

    I probably go once a month to the store to buy my supply for the month. In between I do shop online to get delivered a few that I can't find locally. If I buy too many then I'll drink too many so trying to keep it in moderation.
