Do you buy more beer?

[Billy-Klubb]

I buy one bomber a week to go play nerd poker (D&D) at a friends house. I use this as an opportunity to try a variety of breweries and styles and also to share quality beer with some friends even if just a sip.

Right now it is research as I am getting my home kit together slowly, once that is done and the pipeline fills my purchases will slow considerably mainly going out with friends or out to eat.

nerd poker! better than WoW for a mild assault of reasons. start playing Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. then you don't have to look at your friends while you drink.

No computer gaming for me, I like direct interaction and social drinking.

More variety yes, but not more beer. If I see or hear about something I haven't had before I'll buy a six pack just to get ideas, but I never buy cases or kegs of beer anymore.

I share with too many posted here to quote.

I buy less beer, but spend more money.
Homebrewing has changed the way I drink beer. I think about the process, the ingredients, and get aggravated at times at how good it is.
I've gained a new appreciation for Budweiser. Not that I drink it much (basically when my choices are Bud or a light beer).
I've got a few friends who I've turned into craft beer geeks and we sit around and talk about the beers we brought to the gathering.
Beer selection is now the number two (after quality of food, but a very close number two) most important item when selecting a restaurant.
I'm always looking to try new beers. Once I started using Untappd, it became close to a game.

I go buy a old favorite from tie to time or I buy a bottle or 6er of something new. I still stock up on sierra nevada celebration once a year, my favorite

Yes. And I also buy more varieties. I'm more willing to try something new just because I've never tried it. Before I brewed I was a blue moon drinker. Now I'd be hard pressed to name my favorite beer because I like so many.

Since I lack the space and the equipment to do lagers, and well, it's Oktoberfest time... So Yes I buy more then have my own.

For some reason I tend to experiment with ingredients and ideas. My Second brew ever was Octoberfast, but I screwed up my grain bill so that instead of base malts I had lot's of Munich and Vienna. Can't really comment about it taste, I think I drank the entire 5g batch in one sip.

Right now I am experimenting with Honey, and also high gravity Belgians that i can't buy the way I like it.
