beer score at the beer store

I scored at Whole Foods tonight. Not that my beer stock was lacking but you got to take advantage when rare beers are available. The big score was Stone’s Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale. They brew it every year but only occasionally and in small batches. It’s not inexpensive beer but it’s one of the least expensive Stone beers I’ve bought. I busted some out at with friends before the Phish show and they were all over it.

A new one for me is Duck-Rabbit’s Wee Heavy Scotch Style Ale. Of course I didn’t realize till at the cash register that it was $14 a six pack. Not that I would have done anything differently; it’s something I wanted to try.

I picked up another bottle of Stone’s 2009 Vertical Epic because I only had one for long term storage and one for current consumption. I assume it won’t be in stores much longer.

I also picked up my second bottle of the Sierra Nevada Chico Estate 2009 Brewers Harvest Ale. I drank my first bottle tonight and it is most excellent. I love that fresh floral hop taste.

I saw the Dogfish Head Pangaea and decided to pick it up since it’s been awhile and I don’t have any in stock.

Last, but definitely not least, I replaced my stock of Lindemans Framboise. Always got to have a bottle of that for the ladies. It is fail proof.
