I know I've missed some hauls in between, but I wanted to make sure I got my most current hauls out of the way. This is the last one, from today! I headed over to Lowes Foods to do some grocery shopping.
They just had a facelift and the new store is really cool. Very customized for NC. Checkout counters use street names and signs that are local to the area. It has a very vibrant feel that I really appreciate. One of the new changes in the store is The Beer Den. They now have beers on tap and you can get growlers from them.
When I visited, they had 8 beers on tap, ranging from Mother Earth, Bells, Alesmith, Natty Greene's, New Holland. Sounds like they plan to rotate weekly and they showed some taps of other beers that were either recently sold or are coming soon. Seems like they're doing quite well as they've gone through quite the number of kegs. And they're even having tap takeovers from nearby breweries. I signed up to be part of the mailing list so I can stay on the up and up.
They'll offer samples and you can bring your own growler. However, they have a system that works best with their growlers that's set up in such a way that it will keep your beer good for a month as long as you don't open it.
It's not often that I get a growler, but I had a coupon to get a discount on the bottle and they had 32 oz sizes, which I prefer since I can usually finish that off before it goes bad. I ended up getting the growler and left a happy camper! Here's the haul:
- Bell's Two Hearted Ale - Okay, so I had the chance to try a beer that was different, but I went to something I've had before. What's the deal? I'm more adventurous when I'm dealing with 12 oz or 22 oz samples. Not so much when I get larger sizes. Price paid: $7.99 (w/ price of growler, after discount)
