Haul for 2/19

When I go to Charlotte for work purposes, I typically stay at the same place.  Not because I'm trying to rack up hotel points, but because I go for the cheapest, decent place that's available.  Since the hotel I frequent is actually about ten to fifteen minutes outside Charlotte, I've been known to frequent the same places to eat for dinner when I'm in the area.  Once again, I decided to swing by String Bean Market & Deli and pick up a burger to-go, and decided to get a few brews while I was waiting.  I kept the haul small, but here it is:

  • Heavy Seas Small Craft Uber Pils - I was looking to get a 4-pack that wasn't overly expensive and also wanted to get some refrigerated beers that would be ready to drink to go with my dinner.  The selection in the fridge is limited compared to the selection that are on the shelves.  I was also trying to pair my dinner with my beer and thought a pilsner would work pretty well.  Price paid: $2.50
  • Stone Pale Ale - Another refrigerated winner, I was also of the opinion that a pale ale would work too.  Price paid: $2.00
  • Dogfish Head Piercing Pils - See a theme here..?  This was one of the beers that was not refrigerated, so it was the one beer that I actually took home with me.  The others were consumed at the premises of my hotel room.  Price paid: $2.99
  • Howard Trail Maker - It's not often that I get canned beer, but I was still looking for pilsner or pale ale variants without dipping into Black IPAs or porters or any dark beer, for that matter.  Ended up going with this one.  Price paid: $1.99
