Haul for 8/30

Today was quite the day.  Spent the last couple of days on the road, then still had some deadlines at work I needed to nail down.  After some good ol' fashioned hard work, the deadlines were met, all was good in the world, and I felt that I deserved to reward myself for a job well done.  I just slid on by to Tasty Beverage after work to pick up some brews that caught my eye.  Here's the haul:

  • Southern Tier Pumking - I've been eyeing this for a while, just waiting to go to a beer store that had the right beer price.  This was the one for me.  I'm going to crank this one open for Halloween or some other festive reason, I think it's deserved.  Price paid: $7.69
  • Robinsons Trooper - I forgot the relation between Robinsons and Iron Maiden, but there is definitely some Iron Maiden inspiration for the Trooper.  For those of you that are not Iron Maiden fans, The Trooper was one of their hit songs.  It's personally my favorite song of the bunch.  It wouldn't surprise me if the beer is remarkably average and I just ended up the sucker for some creative marketing.  Oh well, my loss.  Price paid: $5.49
  • Docs Craft Pumpkin Hard Cider - Ooo, another hard pumpkin cider, and this one from a cider maker that's not as affluent and well known as Ace.  I figured I'd pick it up, see how it stacks up to one of my favorite ciders.  Price paid: $5.49
  • Founders Rubeaus - I think I've had this one before, but I definitely have not reviewed.  I figured I'd pick it up, make up for lost time.  If I haven't had it before, I do look forward to a raspberry ale.  Price paid: $3.00
  • Terrapin Pumpkinfest - I'm pretty sure I've had this beer as well, I need to do a better job of remember what beers I've had before I go out buying.  I'm trying to buy beers I've never had, not beers I haven't had in a while.  Oh well, if I haven't reviewed it, then I'm okay with buying it.  Price paid: $2.25
  • Big Boss Mon Cheri - This is a special beer brewed for Raleigh Beer Week 2013.  Since this has that limited release feel, I had to get in on the action.  Plus, this is my way of celebrating Raleigh Beer Week.  Cheers!  Price paid: $1.75
  • Unibroue La Fin Du Monde - I've heard great things about this beer and the only beer I've had from Unibroue was Ephemere, which I didn't find all that amazing.  Here's to hoping that this one is a quality brew.  Price paid: $2.75
