Haul for 5/23

Alrighty then, I went to Bottle Revolution last week to get some goodies and came back with way too much.  Already blew through my budget, now I'm eating into what I call my "fun money" by spending more on beer than I ought.  So was it worth it..?  Eh..maybe so, maybe not.  Anyway, here's what I ended up getting:


  • Angry Orchard Strawman Cider - Apparently Angry Orchard (owned by the same good folks from Sam Adams) has decided to come out with some limited ciders from their regular line.  And like the guy I am, I had to jump on this and get it.  The sticker price was a doozy, but I decided to suck it up and get it anyway.  Having just been to a wine festival, it shouldn't bother me to spend this much.  Looking forward to drinking this one!  Price paid: $13.99
  • Angry Orchard Iceman Cider - This is the other limited cider that came out.  Both of the bottles look pretty awesome, by the way.  I've heard that this one is better, but I'll be the judge of that.  Price paid: $13.99
  • Olde Hickory Imperial Stout - It's not often that I come across Olde Hickory beer that gets the special wax treatment.  I found out after the fact that this is a highly regarded beer.  I'll give myself kudos for getting it on a whim.  Price paid: $10.99
  • Lonerider True Britt - This one came in a six-pack, I'm guessing it's a seasonal offering from Lonerider.  It's local, so I'm definitely buying.  Price paid: $1.89
  • Duck Rabbit Hoppy Bunny ABA - The dark beer experts continue to stick with dark beer offerings, even with this ABA.  Was looking to build a six-pack and decided to stack with a lot of local offerings I haven't had (I screwed that up by buying an ESB that didn't need buying since I already had one..oh well, 5 of 6 aint bad).  Price paid: $1.89
  • Big Boss Knight Night - Same ol' tune, a new release from Big Boss, I'm buying it.  The end.  Price paid: $2.29
  • Terrapin Maggie's Peach Farmhouse Ale - I'm not sure what to expect from this one, fruit beer gives me a mixed reaction.  Interested to see how this works out.  Price paid: $2.69
  • Bell's Two-Hearted Ale - It's true, I've never picked this one up before even though I've heard so many good things about it.  Finally bit the bullet and picked it up, even if I can grab a six-pack at my local grocery store.  Price paid: $1.89
