Before I went to the Lonerider Brewing Company to get some brews, I had some time to kill. The Total Wine in Brier Creek was close by and I thought I'd peruse the aisles to see what they had. I have noticed that for this particular location, they're seriously lacking in seasonal singles/goodies. It could be possible that Total Wine is just slow to get things together, or they are resistant to constantly changing the counter space.
What do I mean? I could see some Founders Imperial Stout, Oskar Blues Ten Fidy, Highland Britches Brew IPA, or Great Lakes Conway Ale and see that they're on sale as four/six packs, but not priced for create-your-own six packs. I will admit that in some of the releases, Total Wine will put some out, but I don't feel like they do it for everything, and I've left a Total Wine with less goodies as a result.
Anyway, what did I pick up? Remember what I said about trying to focus on NC Brews? Found one that I didn't get from The Beer Dispensary and didn't want to leave without getting something. Also noticed that the beer I picked up from The Beer Dispensary was being sold for $3-$4 dollars cheaper. Crap..oh well. So here goes:
- Olde Hickory Seven Devils Bourbon Barrel Scotch Ale - Anything with a bourbon barrel gets my attention, and this one did too. Had a relatively affordable price point that was too difficult to let go, so I made the purchase. Price paid: $6.99
