Haul for 9/19

Even though I hit up the Lowes Foods the day before, it seems my hauling wasn't done yet.  After spending a good chunk of the day out at the flea market at the state fairgrounds, it was pretty easy to just slide over to Cary and do a little bit of shopping.  In this case, while the wife was at Home Goods and Ross, I slid over to the Total Wine to check out the inventory and maybe do some shopping while I was there.  That said, I didn't leave empty handed.  Here's the haul:

• Flying Fish Exit 3 - The 15% ABV on the label really got my attention.  The associated price for that boozy a beer added to my curiosity.  The fact that it is some kind of braggart, which is a beer concept I've never heard of before, sealed the deal.  Price paid: $7.99
• 21st Amendment Hop Crisis - This seemed to be a seasonal or special release beer and I wanted to give it a try.  Price paid: $3.79
• Ballast Point Victory At Sea - At my usual bottle shop haunts, this beer was sold out.  Since I could find it here, I figured I'd pick it up.  Price paid: $3.49
• Victory Festbier - Marzens and pumpkin beers are in season and I knew I wanted to pick up a few of these seasonal beers.  In making my "pick-6", I didn't want every beer to be super expensive.  This was right up my alley.  Price paid: $2.29
• Harpoon Pumpkin Cider - I've had some very good pumpkin ciders before and wanted to see how this one might stack up, particularly against Ace.  Price paid: $1.99
• Saranac High Peaks Clouded Dream - Like Hop Crisis, this seemed like a seasonal or special release and wanted to snag it.  And so I did.  Price paid: $2.99
• Mystery Jack Thorne London Porter - I enjoy me some Mystery Brewing and I'm glad that they got into the bottle and can game.  This particular can stood out so I decided to give it a go.  Probably isn't a six impossible things, but if it's anywhere near as tasty, I'll be satisfied.  Price paid: $3.49

Haul for 9/18

My local Lowes Foods was advertising a Beer Den Tap Takeover from Raleigh Brewing.  Looking ahead at some of the beers they were offering, I already had it made up in my mind to get a certain one that seemed to not be part of their regular rotation.  Ended up bringing along an empty 32 oz growler and came away happy.  Here's the haul:

• Raleigh Brewing Marooned Old Ale - This is an old ale that has been aged in some rum barrels.  The most unique brews that were offered during the takeover and easily my #1 target.  Pretty excited to get this one, I just have to make sure that I consume it in the next few weeks..!  Price paid: $10.99

Haul for 9/8

I happened to peruse the new arrivals at Tasty Beverage and saw a few beverages that I wanted to check out.  Made my way over there and got a little somethin' somethin' to take back.  Here's the haul:

• Wicked Weed Pearfigt - This was one of the beers that I was targeting.  Seemed pretty interesting, I wanted to give it a try.  Price paid: $4.49
• Foothills IPA of the month September - I know I will not have had the chance to try every single IPA of the month this year, but I think I'll have been able to knock out at least half of them.  I'll still try to make the effort to get what I can.  Price paid: $6.99
• Steel String Chombers Four - I'm guessing that this is an anniversary beer of some sorts?  Not quite sure.  That said, it was labeled as a sour ale with lemon, and I thought I'd give it a go based on the description alone. Price paid: $5.99
• Wicked Weed Freak of Nature - I thought about skipping this one, but then noticed how it was heavily recommended by the employees.  Opted to go ahead and grab it.  Price paid: $4.99
• Wicked Weed Medora - Seems like I've been accumulating a lot of Wicked Weed products, huh?  At first I thought I may have already owned this beer, but came to find out that I didn't.  Good news for me.  Another sour that I'll sit on for a while.  Price paid: $13.99
