Haul for 12/10

Alrighty ladies and gents, I can confidently say that this is my last haul for the year.  I came in to Bottle Revolution with the purpose of picking up a gift certificate for the guy who helped with the financing of my new home, thought it would be nice to get him something for Christmas.  Of course, I couldn't just walk in and pick up a gift certificate and just leave, that would be highly improper and unlikely.  I did try to keep the haul short, and I think I succeeded for the most part.  

Unfortunately, my hauls are going to be more scarce and limited in the near future.  I'm having to cut my alcohol budget for 2014 (to $0), which means my beer now has to compete with video games, vacations, clothes, and anything else I want to buy (I still give myself some fun money to spend on myself every month).  I'll try to set up some funds aside, but it'll be hard, especially if I plan to go on a big trip.  Anyway, enough of my sob story, here's the haul:

• Bruery Six-Geese-A-Laying - So I now have 4, 5, and 6 in the series.  I really wish they would re-release 1, 2, and 3 for those of us who weren't into the beer scene at that point in time.  My loss.  Price paid: $12.49
• Lagunitas Hairy Eyeball Ale - I like Lagunitas.  The beer was cheap.  What's more to say?  Price paid: $4.49
• Sweetwater Whiplash White IPA - I think this is the winter seasonal from Sweetwater.  Chalk another one off my list from this Georgia brewery.  Price paid: $1.59
• Red Brick Vanilla Gorilla - It's been a while since I've seen anything unique come out of Red Brick.  I know they're doing things, I'm just not sure if it's been getting distributed up in this area.  I don't think this is the smoked version, just the regular thing.  Looking forward to it.  Price paid: $3.39
• Red Brick Sacred Cow - This has a very interesting flavor profile.  A chai milk sweet stout?  Yeah, I don't know what to think about this, but I'm willing to give it a try.  Price paid: $1.79
• Samuel Smith Winter Welcome - I hear a lot of good things about Samuel Smith beers.  I tend to avoid them, mainly because they're not domestic and that's where my focus is, but I decided to mix it up and actually get a European beer.  I think I'll even drink it before the end of March!  Price paid: $2.49
• Lagunitas Sucks - I have tried this beer before (#105, Grade B) but understood that I was with my drinking pals who like to drink more than they like to savor and I really wasn't on my game when I tried to judge it appropriately.  I know the hype behind this beer, so I figured I'd grab one while it was available and see if a second trying could change my mind.  Price paid: $1.79
• Railhouse Ka-Bar Brown Ale - This was the first time I've seen Railhouse offered in bottles.  I already had the Mastiff, so I went with the other beer that I haven't tried yet.  Price paid: $1.59
