    I usually try different things, but whenever something truly amazing and limited is available I won't look elsewhere. Case in point: Gold Stock.

    I've gone home every night for the last 32 years with the same woman (happily, i might add) so I'm usually pretty eager to **** it up with my beer selection.

    I have been known to revisit the $3 dollar special, but generally unless I love the beer and/or its promotionally priced, it's highly doubtful that I would order the same beer again.

    Now that I think about it, I don't think I have ever had the same beer the whole night. I guess Kate the Great day would be the closest because I just had two glasses and left, maybe that doesn't count though.

    i almost always jump around unless there's something hoppy on tap that i really love. ie - hopslam, pliny, nugget nectar, daisy cutter

    One and only time this happened was when Toronado 20 was on draft fresh on a visit the data after the release party. I think I had three of them.

    I usually try and drink only 2 beers each time Im at my local craft bar (boring I know but I dont need a DWI) but I will always have something different. Also my spot is very generous with sample pours if I just want to get a taste of something.

    Wow, I didn't know that the Russian River brewpub had retired beers by other brewers as well! That sounds awesome!

    Always gotta try a new beer! The only exception is when I go to my favorite brewpub that has Unibroue's Trois Pistole on tap... which I always have as my last beer of the night.

    I think we're all thinking the saw way here. But just because I like to mix it up it doesn't make me a ticker. More of a 5-10 minute savorier.

    I usually just hear a name that sounds interesting and I get so eager to try it! I usually try it, then go back to something familiar. But jumping around too much has also burned me before. I have had one taste totally ruin the taste of another... Not sure what I drank first, but I went a while thinking I didn't care for Founders "All day IPA" till I tried it as a first drink. Anyone else had this happen?

    I can't recall ever ordering the same beer twice in one sitting at a craft beer bar.

    I agree with having only 1 or 2 depending on length of time at the bar.no need to push the envelope,always can come back again.Esp if high %.

    This is exactly me. If there are few options or if there's a limited, fantastic beer on tap, I'll repeat my order. Otherwise, absolutely not.

    depends on what is on tap and what is tasty at the moment.

    I'm always looking for new brews. So I rarely get the same beer twice. Last summer, in St Louis I had a St Louis IPA that knocked my socks off. So I went back the next day and had a second.

    I pretty much always order beers I've never had before. I may close out the night with something I know I'll enjoy though....an old favorite.

    I will always switch up providing the choice is there and the beers are worth trying !!
    I dont hit very many bars and my local watering hole usually only has one or two brands on tap that I prefer
