    Now that I've relocated to CO, I visit local breweries all the time. Translation: at least 2 or 3 on a weekly basis. There are plenty of choices, many within walking distance. The prices are more often than not lower and include the tax. The only drawback is that you can only fill growlers at breweries so my take home beer is either local draft from breweries visited or store bought cans and bottles "imported" from non-local breweries.

    On Average 2-6 times a month , weather it for a growler or new bottle release and tend to go to same half dozen, and there are so many more to visit, so i need to change that, so much great/fresh brew available, and now on sundays this is the only place to get beer to go(purchase) in Minnesota

    I generally only ever visit them when traveling or working out of town.

    Every couple of weeks I try to hit up a brewery. My work schedule 7s going to change in the next few weeks where I will be working 7 days a week, so after that (unless they are open Christmas Easter, or Thanksgiving) never.

    Depends on the season----the cooler it gets the more the dark beauties come to fruition and entice me from the standard store shelves I hit on the weekends.
    Spring and Summer---once a month
    Fall and winter----2 to 3 times a month

    Using local rather liberally to include a ~90 mile radius, about once a month. It would certainly be more often if there were any nearby, but my closest brewery is about 30 miles away. Also, great access to bottled, canned and tap beers within the same range.

    A couple times a month. Lift Bridge and Maple Island in Stillwater MN. When I travel, I always search out local breweries or brew pubs. Taking a day trip to LaCrosse WI this weekend. Will visit Turtle Stack and Pearl St Brewing. We will also enjoy the fall colors.

    Almost 7 days a week! Might miss a day or 2 but I always go after work to wind down. And I'm proud of it. Support NW breweries.

    I belong to a circle of cyclists that go to our local brewpub for a happy hour once a month, but I miss it about half the time. I have been to Port City, the closest production brewery, twice in the last year. Beyond those I have been to local breweries about a half dozen times in the last year.

    I usually go to Treehouse once a week. Trillium I hit up almost every release.( sometimes 3 times a week).

    Technically, I average 5.76 per month, but that would include vacations. On a regular basis, it's probably closer to once or twice per month, but will increase by an additional visit or two since a fantastic brewery just opened up less than 2 miles from my house.

    When I had one 10 min from my house I would try and go once a week. But now they aren't there anymore.

    Roughly once or twice a week but I live in Asheville so it's real easy to brewery hop. So, if you count going to multiple breweries in one night in the average, definitely twice a week.

    About 4 - 5 times a month.

    Plus in NYC, it's kind of easy to visit multiple breweries in a day.
