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
