That's one of the reasons I got into the craft beer movement as much as I did. You're never looking at a six pack for more than 15, and the top end bombers are $20.

And then you make the mistake of falling in love with sour beers too and that will hurt your wallet.

Really most six-packs have no business being more than $11. If the process and ingredients demand more, then ok. But just becuase the beer is 'very good' isn't reason enough.

Absolutely. I'm wary of any beer over 12 or so (Midwest beers usually cost a bit extra here). And most of them don't live up to their extra money past that. I've had a few exceptions, of course, but that's the general rule.

I fell in love with a girl who knows perhaps 500-600 beers, for her job.

To everyone looking to have a better retirement fund... if you can just delude yourself in the world of boring/cheap domestics, more power to you. Just try not to die young.
