How often do you shop for beer?

My wife and I have monthly blow money, and I usually end up using most of mine within the first week of the new month. I work at a store, so I'm around it constantly. I'll purchase 6-8 bombers and a six pack, with the intent of saving the bombers for NBS reviews. That way, I have something to look forward to, and cut back on my consumption rate during the week... in theory.

 

I buy as I drink, so every day.

 

Work p/t at local store, so I don't have to shop that often. The selection is probably the best in town, but I know how distributors can be, so i usually hit up another store once a week, more to see if we got hosed on a particular brew.

 

Tuesday is my usual day but I'll make quick stops if I'm hunting for something specific on other days

 

Weekly. Unless a special release comes out....ahh

 

Lots of window shopping during the week. Will make a few purchases, primarily at local breweries, every couple weeks.

 

I usually go two or three times a week. I tell myself every week I don't need to stop by the beer store and every week I stop by the beer store.

 

I usually hit my area bottle shop with the purpose of picking something up once a week on Wednesdays or Thursdays on my lunch hour or after work. Now, that doesn't count weeks when something special or limited is released, nor does it count the casual weekend browsing in the liquor department at the grocery store, which sometimes results in a purchase or two...

 

My craft beer shop is right next to Target, so whenever I stop at Target (1-2 times a week) I stop and buy beer.

 

I find just the opposite. Of course this is because I only buy good stuff now. I can match most commercial beers. So now I feel I have the money to really up my price point. Even with that I buy little.

 

if I am in the grocery I am at least looking at what's new in the beer aisle. Buying . . . less often than that, maybe once ro twice a week depending on what I get, but that still puts me at multiple times per week.

 

Virtually every day except weekends.

 

My favorite store is right on my way home from work so I often stop and browse at least 2 times a week. Sometimes 4-5 if I'm on the lookout for a special release. On average, I probably only buy once a week though.

 

lol I think i'm the only one that has a time routine. On Tuesday I go to a place at 2:00 which is right after the new shipment arrives for the week. Then on Sunday before football, I go to ABC where the guy holds any rarities for me from Fridays shipment.

It's all about learning the delivery schedule and making friends with the retailer, therefore there's no need to check back at the store more then once.

Two times a month i'll drive over to Total Wine to stock up on 6ers and bombers.

 

The hunt is real

 

It's all BA's fault. Before I discovered this forum, I never shopped for beer more than once a week. The only "bombers" I'd ever purchased were Belgian ales. Now I'm stopping all the time because I've learned that the 5 Binny's locations in my general area work with different distributors and get different beer! Now I'm constantly on the look out for limited releases and hard to finds. When I drive out of state I'm checking ahead of time to see if there are any good liquor stores along the way. And although I'd vowed never to shop on Black Friday, it looks like I will be standing in line somewhere for BCBS.

I've lost controlled..............but the beer has been delicious.

 

There are 3 places that I visit probably once or twice a week each. There are another 4 or 5 that I go to every couple of months, if I happen to be in the area for an unrelated reason

 

I put once a week, but that is an average. When special releases are out, I may go out multiple times a week to be able to get some of those. Some weeks I don't buy any. I honestly have enough right now to get me through Thanksgiving without anymore purchases, but I did stock up on several 12 packs of SN beer this week while it was on sale. Plus, I have a lot of others in the cellar and some special releases I just break out from time to time. I really need to drink these fresh hop ales soon though. Come to think of it, I am going to do that right now!

 

Sometimes 1 to 3 times per week depending on my supply and what new stuff is available.

 

Once or twice a week. Whenever it runs out.
