    2-3 times a week, and with currently 14 in town, it's hard to squeeze them all in....

    Not as often as I should. I'd say once every other month, if that.

    Community here in Dallas deserves my tap room business more frequently. Also, there are plenty, which I drink regularly, that I haven't made it out to.

    What's more, I make it an absolute point to visit as many breweries as I can when traveling. Forbidden fruit, I suppose.

    Maybe 2-3 times a year. Unfortunately Georgia's beer laws make it almost pointless to visit a brewery if your intention is just to drink beers socially. Better to just go to a bar, or buy a 6 pack at the store and invite friends over..

    Georgia sucks

    I try for 2-3 times a month. It's not as often as I would like especially since there are so many more opening up around me.

    Sadly, I've only been to one local. I need to change that ASAP.

    Not very often. I need to change that but I mostly drink at home.

    I go about once a month, usually when I see something interesting being released.

    Between Barrier and Other Half, 2x a month? If I wasn't able to get kegs from Barrier and cases from OH it would be more often.

    I'm much more likely to visit breweries when traveling, since they're fun places to visit and my girlfriend is generally pretty indulgent on the subject. When I'm at home, I hardly ever do, since I want to be around for the family in the early evening and I don't go out all that often at night. The girlfriend and I will hit up a brewpub when we get a rare night off parenting, but that's only a few times a year. I do most of my drinking at home!

    On the bright side, I semi-frequently make it out to one of the best beer bars in town under the pretext that I'm going to play music.

    almost never, when you consider the closest one is about 55 miles away

    I visit once a week. I like about half a mile from Kane in new Jersey, so its pretty convenient.

    I've been trying to get my beers from Proclamation in South Kingston, RI. A little further drive from the store but quality and freshness is great. So a several times per month

    About three times a month. Breweries have been around here for years, but now they're popping up like mushrooms. I love the Gibbs 100 brews, the Preyer offerings, and choosing from the more esoteric Natty Greene beers. I've tried a few of the Pig Pounder brews. Soon there will be more all in a small area of downtown and it will be a regional draw for sure. This is a great environment for both beer and business. Cheers.

    I do most of my drinking at home and local is still some distance for me other than a couple of brewpubs. Saying that maybe twice a month.

    Once a month usually. Maybe more in the summer, but the closest to me (Lawson's, Alchemist) currently don't have public access.

    I make the drive for can releases at Fiddlehead, and take a few trips to HF a summer, then hit the other few local options every so often (Harpoon, Crop, Schilling).

    At least once a week, although I find myself only visiting the same breweries over and over (Fremont, Reubens, Holy Mountain).
