I'm going back in time..! Actually, I totally forgot about this haul as I was drinking one of the beers I picked up during the haul. I knew I needed to get it in here. Anyway, I told my friends and guests that I would bring some beer to the fantasy football draft at my house. I warned them that I was a beer snob and that I wouldn't be bringing any domestics. I also told them what I figured I would bring. Needless to say, I got none of the beers that I had on the list. The wife wanted to go World Market to look at some things and I got to looking at their beer selection and noticed that they were offering 25% off on all their six packs. That got my attention, and I went hunting for beers I thought I would like first, then I thought of what my friends could tolerate next. Here's what I got (price is per bottle, multiply by six to get the six pack price):
- Anchor Brewing Bigleaf Maple Autumn Red - This one sounds familiar, right..? I just happened to pick it up as a single in one of my hauls a couple of weeks ago. Couldn't help myself, I decided to grab more, thinking the flavor profile would be of interest to my buddies. Price paid: $1.50
- Lonerider Sweet Josie Brown - This is a great go-to for brown ales. Very smooth, nutty, well balanced. If some of the other beers were too adventurous, this would mellow them out. Price paid: $1.25
- Brooklyn Brewery Pennant Ale 55 - It's a fantasy draft and while this particular brew pays homage to a baseball team, I figured it was close enough. At least they're still playing baseball and it's not the off season. Price paid: $1.25
- Ace Pumpkin Cider - My wife likes it, I know my friends will tolerate some ciders and I figured I'd let them try something a little different, something they may not have had before. If all else fails, if they don't drink it, me and the wife will load up! Price paid: $1.50
