Haul for 1/3/13 and 1/5/13

Yeah, it's 1/9 and I'm finally getting around to this.  Real life has caught up and I haven't been able to swing the time to post like I want to.  Nothing like being off from work for a while, then having to turn it on and go back to full throttle on 1/2.  Anyway, enough of the complaining.  I made two runs, which cleaned me out for the month.  First trip was to Bottle Revolution, as I noticed what they had in their new releases for the week and needed to go.  Second trip was to Total Wine location at Brier Creek.  I had never been to this one, I was curious if the selection was better or worse, and I was hard pressed to leave empty handed..not by anyone there of course, just by myself.  Anyway, here's the haul!


  • Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron - I had glanced at some reviews on this one and heard good things, so I had to pick up.  Price paid: $3.79
  • Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA - Can you believe that I really haven't picked up anything from Dogfish Head until now?  I'm going through my memory banks, and I'm pretty sure this is the first for me.  I'm definitely compensating for the lost time.  Again, based on reputation, I had to try it.  Price paid: $2.59
  • Dogfish Head Midas Touch - I didn't realize this was from Dogfish Head until I saw the cap.  I've seen this sold in a 4 pack at stores and was always interested in trying one.  Price paid: $2.29
  • Founders Breakfast Stout - I like this beer so much that I had to have it again.  I'm expecting the second time to be just as good as the first.  Price paid: $2.69
  • Lonerider Beer With No Name - I missed out on Pistols at Dawn but wasn't going to let this one go.  With the less expensive price point to boot, this one was easy to corral. Price paid: $9.99
  • Mother Earth Silent Night - This beer is hyped like you wouldn't believe.  Not easy to find and a new shipment had come in.  I told myself that I needed to try this at least once and since I was going to try and support special releases from local breweries over others, I should man up and eat the cost.  Price paid: $18.99
  • Allagash Black - Allagash tends to have a higher price point and I'm under the assumption that it's because they have quality offerings.  I wasn't so high on their dubbel ale, so this one will make or break my perception of the brewery.  Price paid: $3.49
  • Samuel Adams Imperial White - Like the Midas Touch, I'd see this offered in the four packs and wanted to try one of them.  Crossing my fingers! Price paid: $2.99
  • Weyerbacher Old Heathen Imperial Stout - I think this is the Weyerbacher I got..I'll double check.  For whatever reason, I was bent on filling out a six pack (I only really wanted 1 beer!) so I was looking for interesting labels to mix it up.  Price paid: $2.99
  • Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale - I'm guessing on this one too..another Dogfish head.  Like I said, I'm compensating for lost time.  Price paid: $3.49
  • The Perfect Crime - A compilation brew from 3 breweries, this was the one I wanted..everything else was just filler because I couldn't justify buying only 1 12 oz bottle.  Shame on me!  Price paid: $3.29
  • Widmer Brothers Drifter Pale Ale - I knew I was paying a lot for a six pack, so I was looking for something cheap and well recommended.  Price paid: $1.49
  • Magic Hat Humdinger Series: Burn Pile - I bought it, drank it, liked it, then noticed that it was on sale for $1.99.  Really?  I had just paid $5.99 a little while back.  Thought about buying more than one, but I have too much here..I'll let some other lucky folks enjoy.  Price paid: Read my comments!
