I really tried to explain to them the utter absurdity of making a 9-buck sixer with 8-buck beers, but they weren't having any of it. What's also crazy is that it wasn't the same workers both days.
 
Wow $400 and i thought my $40 to $60 was was spending a lot. I don't usually stock up for more than a weekend. D@mn Indiana blue laws mean getting Sunday beer on Saturday.

Man I am glad CO finally got over that Blue Law nonsense. When I first moved here from NYC I was told that you cannot buy good beer on Sunday. I almost had a heart attack. Man those days were brutal!!:p
 
Probably $150 or so.

Binny's has a ton of beers I've never had before, so I've been buying a lot lately.
 
I'm a cheapass and I've only been to a true bottleshop once (it's about 45 minutes away, so I have to get most of my micro fix at grocery stores). That one time, I was so overwhelmed, but still managed to buy only $40 worth of beer.

I can't wait to go back when I'm a bit more "prepared."
 
The most was about $400 but that was mostly hard liquor for a party. Usually, it's about $100 if I'm going to the liquor store or BevMo.
 
I had a chat earlier today with BevMo. They assisted me, along with Jess at AleSmith, in finding some AleSmith near San Luis Obispo, CA. It seems that there is a wine shop in Templeton that packs one of the beverages of my dreams. Now, hopefully I can talk my brother into going up there before he comes home for the holidays. I'm not sure he realizes how big of a deal this is…
 
Here in VA beer is sold anywhere but true liquor is sold only in state stores. For beer, I don't spend much since I brew my own but the liquor bill for our yearly tiki party easily exceeds $500 depending on what we decide to serve. Most of that is for the cheapest Tequila I can find, which is still about $23 a liter.
 
I dropped $1295 on a bottle of millenium edition Louis XIII other than that most I have spent is around $180 buying for my halloween parties
 
last December, my buddy and I stocked up his beer fridge for New Year's and bowl season. Plus a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle will boost the tab pretty quick. Don't remember the total, but it was around $300+.

I'm worse at the bar with a friend. Especially the pricey beer bars around boston. I've dropped a 200 bar tab between me and a friend, strictly on beer. And yes I staggered out. I actually just went to a great beer store about 30 or so minutes away from me in acton ma called colonial spirits. Jaw dropping in comparison of what I'm used to in variety and volume. I couldn't believe I only spent 35 dollars yesterday.

Jess is the best ever, for reals.
 
but I submitted the guy anyway with a kimura.

I took some jiu-jitsu classes a while back. Damn fun even if I got submitted about 20 times a class. Submitted a much bigger new guy from guard with a kimura and was pretty damn proud of myself.

Sadly, life got in the way and I haven't trained in like 3 years :(
 
I'm curious how much everyone out there has spent on one trip to the liquor store. There is this store near where I live that stocks 1300+ beers, and it seems like I can't go in there without spending $150 or more. Yesterday, it was $161.78, but the most I've ever spent was $204.36. So, who else out there is like a kid in a candy store when they see a massive micro/import selection?

What liquor store is this?
 
Most expensive single trip for beer: ~$450

-2 Utopias
-1 The Abyss
-1 Rochefort 6
-2 Rochefort 10
-2 Stone Levitation
-1 Rogue Imperial Stout
-6 Stone IPA
-2 Chimay blue

Almost snagged the Chimay Grand Reserve Magnum, but figured I had spent enough for 1 day.

that sucks!

cheap tequila here in florida can go for 24 dollars for 1.75 liters...
 
Damn. Some of the $ you guys have spent!

The most I've dropped at a beer store is like $75 on New Years Eve. Alot of that was for the alcoholic ex, lol.
