Most Expensive Haul

Spent about $750 in bottle shops and a trip to Hill Farmstead last week. By far the most I've dished out. Worth it? But of course. This was just the Hill:

 

NY gets Prairie, Almanac, Crooked Stave, Perennial, Bells, Westbrook, Jacks Abbey, etc. Its always hard to keep my wallet in my pocket there.

 

I don't think I've ever spent over $100 at once, but not due to ethics, morals, self control, or a lack of selection. Nope, I'm just constantly broke.

 

NE adds up fast

 

Over $1200 at Hill Farmstead. Total Vermont weekend ran a little over $1700.

 

about 350

 

200-300 when I was first getting into cellaring I tried to fill the whole mini fridge I was using to age e beer as quickly as possible. It's over a year since then and the majority of what's in there is from the first few purchases.

 

Case of BA blackout stout. Can't remember the price but I believe it was in the $200s. Rediculous

 

I got quite the haul at Alpine for my birthday a few years back

Wife wouldn't tell me the total but my best guess is about ~160ish

 

Day 1: $250 at SARA -> $120 Russian River -> $450 at a local shop that was selling Cantillon
Day 2 (not beer): $1200 in Napa on 4 bottles of wine

 

I went back today and bought two more. The weird thing is that this store usually has slightly higher prices than other nearby stores. It could have been a pricing error for Love Child (Saison Brett was sitting right next to it on the shelf for $13.99) but it's not like it was priced at $5.99 or something egregious. So I'll just content myself that I got a great deal on an awesome beer, and a sour no less - it's hard to find amazing sours at reasonable prices!

 

Ive spent many, many dollars on beer. Probably way too much.

This was maybe a year ago, when they released 3L supplication at the brewery. I paid a lovely friend to dig up her four friends and each purchase their limit of one bottle. If you know what these cost, go from there. I also paid her a handsome fee for her trouble. That's my story for the day of the most expensive haul I have ever spent on "one" transaction. Cheers!

 

$135 at the Upland Lambic sale

 

I'd guess about $90 a pop?

 

For me it was over the past week in Vt. On vacation Between my wife and I, two cases of heady, one case of sos, 5 growlers from hf, 1 growler from fiddlehead and 1 from rock art, 12 random bombers and at least another case of miscellaneous beer I'm guessing it was around $500. And who knows how much more we spent drinking at the 12 breweries we visited. Definitely worth it.

 

Depends on the time frame of a haul. I can easily pick up $200 worth of beer in a week to add to my cellar. My single biggest day was when I visited The Lost Abbey during a work trip. $168 for a mixed case of their finest available that day at the brewery.

 

Walked into trillium with my gf, bought about $150 worth of beer. As I'm packing it up, i hear her say, " I'll get what he just got." Was I supposed to tell her no?

 

Marry that woman. NOW.

 

$950 or so for the beer for my wedding.

 

I wonder what that was about
