Haul for 8/22

For this particular haul, I was looking to score some beer for a fantasy football draft party that I was hosting.  I headed down to Lowes Foods with the idea of procuring a 12 pk of Red Oak.  It was to my utter disappointment that they don't carry Red Oak there.  At least, not right now.

So in a previous post, I mentioned the goodness that is the Beer Den within Lowes Foods.  They had a tap takeover on Saturday featuring Devil's Backbone out of Virginia.  I was on the hunt for simple beer.  I know my buddies and they're not about IPAs and stouts.  I'd have to focus on lagers and other types that are not as adventurous on the taste buds.  So what did I end up getting?  Here's the haul:

• Devil's Backbone Vienna Lager - I wanted to primarily get my hands on bottles since they're easier to work with.  The only type of beer featuring Devil's Backbone and bottles were the Vienna Lager.  Yeah, I could have gotten some other type of beer, but I was feeling generous to support the brewery since they did the takeover.  Price paid: $9.99
• Devil's Backbone Stringduster - I felt compelled to pick up something on tap.  While there were plenty of solid selections (I almost sprung for the Not Your Father's Root Beer), it was Devil's Backbone that was doing the tap takeover.  I was going to go with the Golf Leaf Lager, but of the folks working in the Beer Den told me to try the Stringduster as a sample.  Even though it's an APA, it was very mild and wasn't too hoppy for my friends.  I found myself a winner.  Price paid: $6.99.
