Haul for 11/14

My last trip during my vacation for beer hauling took place in the Whole Foods in Glen Allen, Virginia.  I went to a different beer stop, only to find out that the place had closed down.  I could have gone to some other places, but I had dropped the wife off at a store and didn't need to be ten miles down the road in case she finished up early.  The Whole Foods was just half a mile up the street.  That said, this Whole Foods had a very good selection of local products and I was more than glad to stock up.  What did I get?  Here's the haul:

  • Lagunitas The Censored Rich Copper Ale - Whole Foods had a pretty good selection, but not when it came to their mix-a-six pack going on.  I hadn't seen this one in my neck of the woods, but I'm pretty sure it exists down there.  Oh well, I haven't had this one from Lagunitas yet, so I figured I'd give it a go.  Price paid: $2.29
  • Blue Mountain Lights Out Holiday Ale - I think I've had Blue Mountain before, or at least I've bought something from Blue Mountain before.  Haven't had this brew, and it's about that time to start stocking up holiday beer.  Price paid: $2.29
  • Blue Mountain Full Nelson Virginia Pale Ale - It's still a Virginia beer that I don't see down in NC.  I'll try it.  Price paid: $2.29
  • Parkway Bridge Building Blonde - Another VA brewery that I didn't know existed.  Look forward to seeing if they're worth keeping tabs on.  Price paid: $2.29
  • Bold Rock Hard Cider - Everyone should know that I don't discriminate against ciders.  It's from Virginia too!  Price paid: $2.29
  • Devil's Backbone Kilt Flasher Wee Heavy Scotch Ale - I like the name of the beer.  Another Virginia brewery that I've never heard of.  Time to work on getting educated!  Price paid: $2.29
  • Crispin Georgia - I had tried to find this in Raleigh, but no luck.  When I went to Bottle Revolution for my haul on 11/1, this was my primary purpose, but it wasn't there.  I'm so glad I found it, but I'm wishing I bought two instead of one.  If this is anything like Bird on a Wire.. *Drooooool* Price paid: $5.99
  • Lickinghole Creek Magic Beaver Belgian Style Pale Ale - Another VA brewery I never heard of, I had a pick of 2 or 3 different breweries to go with, but I stuck with this one.  I'll get the ones I missed later on down the line.  Price paid: $7.99
  • Hardywood Barrel Series Rum Pumpkin - I heard of this beer and didn't think I'd have ever crossed it, until I did.  There were only a handful left in the store and I got my grubby fingers all over it.  I'm pretty sure this will be the last pumpkin beer I buy this year.  I can't wait to age these for a year or two and see what type of awesomeness I can achieve.  Price paid: $13.99
