    2-3x per year. I don't go out drinking much, the only time I really go is to pick up brewery only beers (ie. OTWOA, Ocelot). There are actually quite a few within 10-15 minutes of me.

    It varies between 2-8 times a month. Our homebrew club is having a pre-meeting get together at one later. Probably gonna hit another one on Saturday after work.

    not often enough but we only have 1 tap room within 10 miles of my house because we live in the middle of nowhere
    drive 45 minutes and there are a ton but then the drinking and driving thing comes into play.....
    i make it to a local taproom or brewpub maybe once a month

    At least once per week on Friday night for dinner and beers, and I make it a point to stop at one or more breweries when traveling out of town. My wife wants to shop in Kalamazoo today, so we'll be stopping at a newly-opened brewery there to try the beers and have something to eat. Tomorrow night we'll have our usual Friday night 'date' at one of our two local breweries here in town.

    Pretty much every single day. A very minimum of 5 days a week.

    actually: more like every other week

    Maybe a couple a month or so. Depends on the money situation.

    Against The Grain sucks and I have to drive 5 hours to Wicked Weed or 4 hours to FFF. If there was a good local brewery in Louisville I would be in there 3-4x a week. I try and get up to Cincinnati for Madtree and Rhinegeist every other month though.

    At least once a week. Easy to do in Portland.

    A couple times a week. Brewery consumption is my preference when it comes to drinking beer.

    Unfortunately only about once a month, not easy with little ones to get out.

    At least once a week if not twice, here in south Florida they keep opening new breweries so I keep going. I try to go to every new brewery to support local. Sometimes I am surprised at what they are doing, right now Devour in Boynton Beach is doing some great stuff and is very small just a husband and wife.

    Only a few here in Tallahassee; but, I visit Proof at least once or twice a week, and Grasslands 3-4 times per month. My girlfriend and I also travel 4-5 times per year to visit other breweries around the country.

    Local, I don't go out much at all, but when I travel, it could be 3-4 or even more times a week.

    I visit Al's of Hampden/Pizza Boy once a week-ish and Troegs about once a month or so.

    I only like going out to drink if someone is going with me to make it a social experience. Most of my friends aren't into hitting up the local brewery for a pint so I rarely go.

    About once a week... Depends. Sometimes I'll hit two or three in an afternoon... With Hair of the Dog, The Commons and Cascade Barrel House (plus Buckman Botanical / Green Dragon / Rogue) within a few blocks of each other, you can get into a lot of trouble...
