Buy something else at that shop?... or move on to the next shop to find that beer?

    It depends on how much I want what I was originally looking for. If I'm dead set on getting a certain product, then I will search until I find that. But really, that doesn't happen all that often. There aren't many beers that I feel like I really need to try. So a lot of times I'll just browse until I find something to my liking and just go with that instead. Too many great brews out there to lock onto to a single thing (most of the time).

    3 rd option. Go to the store before the beer is released. When they get it in, hold some aside for me, call me to let me know it's in. Then go to the store later to get it, nice. It is on my commute home, so not out of the way either.

    I have no self control. I usually buy of a bunch of stuff I didn't intend on. Hell, half the time I forget what I went in for in the first place! Cheers!

    If I'm looking for something in particular I'm going to go looking for it.

    Something always catches my eye so I usually walk out with something.

    Seriously. Why are so main of these polling questions limited to very specific terms that put people into an either/or response?

    If i go for a specific bottle, ill go to a few shops before giving up. If i am just looking for something new to try, i might just pickup some randoms.

    I'll buy something from the first store and then head to the next. I'm a beer assassin that with drink anything that gets in my way until the intended beverage is acquired

    I always leave with something. I don't have a ton of beer in my cellar, so I like to try and get something new even if I don't find what I'm looking for.
