Wow, it's been a while since I've had a haul (and a while since I've posted, but I'll get around to updating when I get more free time..work has left me very, very busy). Anyway, I had spent my money for March on bourbon instead of beer, but came to find out that the bourbon I bought for myself was accidentally gifted away. I've dropped by a few ABC stores but haven't been able to find the bottle since. That snafu replenished my alcohol funds and I decided to drop by Bottle Revolution to get one bottle of cider and walked out with a lot more...no surprise there. Anyway, here's the haul:
- Angry Orchard Muse - This was what I came to the store for, noticed that Angry Orchard had a new cider and wanted to give it a try. Still haven't consumed Strawman and Iceman yet, but I'll eventually get around to it. Price paid: $13.99
- Doc's Pumpkin Cider - I have yet to try my pumpkin cider, but they had this on closeout for cheap, so I figured it would be worth a pickup. Price paid: $2.00
- Raleigh House of Clay - I've noticed a lot more variety of NC brewers in the store and I know they've been popping up all over the place. Not enough money, too much breweries, but I figured I'd make the effort to try a few here and there when I can. I like Rye IPAs and the price point seemed okay, so I figured I'd give this a go. Price paid: $5.49
- Fullsteam Fearrington Winter - The label said coffee pecan porter. Sold! Price paid: $6.99
- Lonerider Addie's Revenge - I don't know if this is year-round or the new seasonal, but Lonerider decided to release an IPA. Price paid: $1.79
- Hi-Wire Contortionist - I've seen more of Hi-Wire in the area and I figured I'd get a good feel for their year-rounders and seasonals to see how they stack up with some of the other NC breweries I enjoy. This one is a black IPA, so I'm assuming it's their seasonal release. Looks good. Price paid: $2.69
- Hi-Wire Bed of Nails - This is their brown ale and I'll be comparing it against Lonerider's Sweet Josie Brown. It'll either be better, worse, or about the same. If it can't match up, I won't be having another. Price paid: $1.79
- RJ Rockers Black Perle - Another black IPA that I look forward to drinking, I know they're out of South Carolina and I haven't really tried their offerings before. Price paid: $2.59
- Big Boss Centaur - I thought I saw some news that they have some sort of Alpha series and some other type of series to correspond with their brews. Centaur is their saison ale and I want to say that I should be able to transition onto different breweries because I've bought at least one of everything from them, I think. Price paid: $3.39
- Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald - I was at the end of my six pack and I wanted to buy something cheap (but good) to fill out the 6 pack. I think I made a great choice. Price paid: $1.59
