    $275 but that was a one-time occurrence and was an online "haul" from Belgium.

    Most in a single day was probably around $300 across three stores. That was picking up A LOT of stuff just based on luck that I don't normally see: BCBS, Cantillion Classic Gueze, etc.

    Normally though, it's around $25 or so per run, consisting of a couple sixers and a cheap bomber for the week.

    I don't think I've ever broke $100 at once. My tendency is more to buy small amounts several times a week and hauls only really happen when I'm out of state. I can think of one or two hauls I've made for about $75 and the first time I went to HF was $80+ including all the growlers.

    Probably around $70. I prefer IPAs and DIPAs (meaning I buy them fresh and when I plan to drink them), don't have a cellar, and don't go chasing whales. Plus, living in Seattle with our great beer selection and access, there's really no reason for me to ever really need to stock up. I think the one time I spent around $70 was when purchasing a couple of FW anniversary beers in addition to my biweekly $40 purchase.

    A weekend down to San Diego got me for about $500 a couple months ago.
    My wife doesn't bat an eyelid at the $90-100 purchases anymore. She just shakes her heads knowing Im just torturing myself by buying all this beer and not being able to drink it.

    It took a lot of e-mail addresses (and drivers licenses I found on the internet), but I won 40 bottles of Sour Reserve Batch 2.

    Around $560 at Kuhnhenn's Winter Solstice 2010. Wish I would of asked people that weren't getting their full allotment of Raspberry Eisbock if I could buy more bottles. I miss that stuff, 6 was not nearly enough.:slight_smile:

    My most expensive day is always Darkness Day. $108. Otherwise I try not to spend more than 50 or 60 at a time.

    I've spent $100+ a few times over the past couple months. My craft brew desire/obsession has really spiked this year.
