The second of two hauls, this one the most recent since I pulled this one off yesterday. Just swung by Tasty Beverage after work and went a little out of control. I guess I won't be buying much beer next month based on what I splurged on today. Here's the haul:
- Boulevard Collaboration #4 Saison - For this collaboration, they paired up Ommegang to create a saison. I don't think I've ever had Boulevard beers before, but I am a fan of Ommegang so I figured I'd give it a try. Price paid: $8.99
- Boulevard Smokestack Bourbon Barrel Quad - I have to admit, I was drawn to several beers that were labeled as one or two per customer only. I understood that meant they were either in high demand, were rare, or both. I pounced on the most of them in the store, considering they were reasonable in price. Price paid: $12.99
- Stone Enjoy By IPA - My date was 10/31/14, and it was consumed last night. That means that you'll likely see a review next year. Ha. No, I'm going to try and get my recent drinks completed and then work backwards to manage my pending list. Every time I turn around, this beer is sold out so I considered myself lucky that I'd finally get to try this bad boy. Price paid: $6.99
- Wicked Weed Briars & Brett - I'm not sure if I've ever had a sour before. Again, was drawn to the one-per-customer thing. I know Wicked Weed recently opened the Funkatorium; they basically have over a dozen taps dedicated to sour ales. I figured I'd let this one age and go experiment with sour ales in the near future. Oh yeah, this one was aged in gin barrels with blackberries. Interesting combo. Price paid: $9.99
- Highland 20th Anniversary IPA - Would you believe that this was the beer that drove me to come by the store? I had the previous 2 anniversary beers and this was the 3rd beer (There are releasing more beers than that to celebrate 20 years, but I'm only focusing on the beers that are labeled as 20th anniversary beers) of 4. Price paid: $8.99
- Fullsteam Fearrington Apple Rye IPA - I was intrigued by the combination of apple, rye, and IPA. They said they used apple because everybody else is focused on pumpkins. I just hope the combination pays off. Price paid: $6.49
- Fullsteam Tree to Sea Gose - I was impressed by the fact that they used NC ingredients to make this beer, and it came from all over the state. To support my love for NC (I know, silly right? I could be supporting my love for NC a myriad of different ways than buying this beer) I decided to buy this beer. Call me a sucker. Price paid: $12.99
