I traveled 1,000 miles to my family's home for the holidays, and couldn't bring any homebrew with me. As a result, I ended up buying my beer from the local liquor stores while I was there.
The two things that stuck out to me were the slim selection of anything resembling "craft" beer, and the sheer cost of buying a 6-pack of craft beer per day for a week and a half. The cost really adds up when you can't simply walk downstairs and pour a glass of tasty beer off a keg!
Anyone else go through the "sticker shock" of keeping the fridge stocked with drinkable commercial craft beer while away from their own homebrewing facilities? It pained me to think of how many batches of homebrew I could have made with the $100+ I spent on beer last week.
