    $100 a week Average. That's for two people. A few cases of core type beers and a few sixers of other stuff. A large bottle here and there.



    Enjoy

    My average liquor store trip runs about $40. Either two six packs and one bomber or one six pack and two bombers.

    If it's a good Sierra Nevada release or on sale week or I'm in the mood for Lagunitas, not much like $20 a week on 18 beers or so.

    If it's a local bottle shop trip Probobly $40 on 3 six packs and a bomber or 2"

    If I'm making a 200 mile round trip to panama city, FL or columbus, GA for as good selection as a CA whole foods, I spend about $100

    That being said, I still only have one max 2 beers per day and I buy about 3x that. So It is more about the chase on new /fresh releases

    Considering I work in one currently. I tend to pick up what I want to drink that night or anything interesting that I would like to cellar.

    It depends. Sometimes I go specifically for craft, and that could involve anything from a six-pack and a bomber or two to a mixed-six and a regular sixer. That's about $20-30. Other times I just want a few pint cans to drink without pondering too much, and that's $10 at the absolute max.

    Usually about $100 every couple months or so. I have family spread out, so I will usually make a quick stop whenever I visit them.

    I usually buy 2 cases at a time when I am at the distro, One of what I want and usually a "oh what the hell i'll try it" 20-25 dollar discount case so usually between 50 and 80 bucks. At the bottle shop usually a six pack or a bomber or two so 10-15 bucks.

    Always restock once a week, usually 8-12 beers, $30-40. Occasionally a growler fill as well.

    Usually $10-15 or so a week, on average, I would assume.

    I don't keep a big beerventory at all... I may only drink 3-5 beers a week at home so it's slow moving. We usually head to a brewery directly.

    Too much... But usually between $75 and $100 weekly. 2 6 packs of IPA's to drink that week, and some cellar items.,

    Depends on how much I'm trading, but usually in the $60 - $75 range on a semi-weekly basis (although I did drop $95 at Binny's in Chicago on Wednesday evening, but that was like unleashing the hungriest kid in the world in the world's biggest candy store - too much good stuff).

    ~$20/week, usually a couple sixers or a SN 12 pack. I rarely have more than 20 beers in my main fridge and only have 5 or so in my 'cellar' fridge.

    Weekly stop for a 12 pack of IPA's and a 4 pack of DIPA for the $25.00 weekly hop fix
    Always stop at a secondary source for an additional 6 pack/4 pack/ both to supplement the choices in the cooler
