It's a new month, and that means that it's time for another visit to the ol' store to stock up on a few more brews! After work, I decided to drop by The Beer Dispensary in Apex, check out what they had, and try to stock up on a few more local seasonals.
So what did I get? Here's the list!
- Great Lakes Alchemy Double IPA - I missed out on Hopslam, and I was looking through some reviews and heard blurbs that this was a worthy substitute and Great Lake's best brew. I'd argue that hop heads are biased, but since I did miss on Hopslam, I wanted to try this one out and determine what I was getting into. Price paid: $3.60
- Olde Hickory The Bean - I think The Bean was created specifically for someone's dog, so I figure that this is one of those one-offs that would never come by again. It's local, it wasn't badly priced, and that equals a pickup. Price paid: $5.00
- Weyerbacher Tiny - Okay, I'll admit, I saw a blurb that this was a limited supply and I felt compelled to pick it up before it goes away. A pure impulse buy, I'll let you folks know sooner or later if I did a good job or a crap job with this one. That said, feel free to warn me in advance too! Price paid: $8.50
- Big Boss The Countess - I was reading that Big Boss was taking all of their previous one-offs, were in the process of bottling, and would have a different one every month. Sounds good to me! The Countess is one of them and since I've never had it, I'm going to pick it up now. Price paid: $2.20
- Big Boss Big Operator - Like The Countess, this is another of their special brews, but I'm guessing this is made with heavier stuff or is more popular, which translates to the same price point as Aces and Ates. Price paid: $4.60
- Highland Britches Brew IPA - After Cold Mountain, this is Highland's next seasonal and I'm more than ready to give it a try. The red IPA concept seems interesting enough, I'm crossing my fingers, hoping for good things. Price paid: $2.00
