Modest haul from Trader Joe's.

The Pizza Port (featuring Simcoe/HBC 586/Sabro) was canned 8 days ago.

 

Nice! I really enjoyed the Muri-Elle (haven't tried the others yet)...

 

Hey Haulers

I’ve been really impressed with the Kettleheads I’ve had so far

 

Where in Ma. Was that, if you don’t mind me asking. Thanks.

 

imagine walking into a store and seeing jjjm in the fridge. pretty funny, but awesome. How much were they charging?

 

Snagged all the Schilling they had left at Stout Brothers in Woodstock, GA.

 

Fat Head’s run. Bone Head and Head Shrinker. Cheers!

...my kind of enabler...

 

On a beer purchase time-out except new to me singles, but made an exception for two single cans and also last call on distributed A Little Crazy, one of four favorite canned local seasonals over the years:

3/2/23 Beer on the Wall (All purchased at store temperature)

• Hop Butcher Two-Flat $3.72 (16 oz canned 2/22/23)
• Hubbard's Cave Irish Stout $3.22 (16 oz canned 2/1/23)
• Art History Fastenbier $3.97 (16 oz canned 2/15/23)

• Spaten Optimator $1.98 (12 oz bottled I believe 8/29/22, BB 8/23 (Bottle Code L2412204 - 241st day of 2022 is how I decipher this).

 

I couldn't find anything on the Spaten website. I'm primarily relying on this linked BA post, and this Reddit post:

The best by (08-2023) lines up with the 1 year Julian calendar date. Not sure what the 204 indicates after the first four numbers.

Wish all European / Eastern European beers had the same codes. There are so many beers I pass on. Especially this Baltic Porter many here seem to enjoy.

Cheers!

 

We were shopping in one of those open air malls and I guess I was making my wife nervous by hovering around as she shopped. She suggested I go amuse myself for a while.

I stumbled upon a Wines and More. Pretty good dates on these, not so much on others I wanted.
Captain’s Daughter
Pufnstuff
Nugget Nectar, haven’t had it in a couple of years, I’m interested if it’s as good this year as it was a few years ago.

 

good luck! My hard stops all send me skidding through the intersection.

 

Woody’s Liquor in Revere

I think the Tree House cans were around $6/can. Thought it was unusual but I grabbed them. Last can of the JM and Bomb Cyclone, few more Julius and Hazes were left.

 

Couldn't resist another Halftime Beverage haul- Definitely looking forward to these treats!



Cheers, BAs!

 

Thanks, I didn’t think they did distributed, always a thrill when you stumble across something like that

 

...I need a beer or two after the 'thrill' of skidding through intersections...

 

this makes me giddy.

Perfect Haul

 

What a great haul! If you don't mind answering, how fresh are those (particularly the Lawson's and Fiddlehead)?

I just went to their site, and you can filter beers via new arrivals / week arrived. I'd consider purchasing from them if I knew their IPAs were relatively fresh (less than 2 months old) by the time I received. Always wanted to try Lawson's and Fiddlehead (and The Alchemist, doubt they pop up there). Will keep them on my radar depending on your response.

Cheers!

 

Or before...
