Travel? Not really... I live near Wash. D.C., where there are many, many beer outlets and stuff is imported. At any one time I can get 50-200 brands in various outlets. If I drank a lot, my collection could easily be 2000-3000. Now that I have choices, I tend to buy many of the same types over & over, rather than just building totals.

Several nice people have brought me good samples from the UK, N. Zealand, Canada, and others look locally for interesting brands at Xmas & birthdays...
