I was in Vegas and stopped a Whole Foods with no intention of buying beer, but WOW! I couldn't help it. I had to check my bag on the return flight because they don't allow that much liquid in a carry-on bag... and they all made it home in tact.

I just told my coworker that I was going grocery shopping, and that I wouldn't buy any beer because I'm moving across the country in a few weeks. But what's this! The local albertsons doubled their beer selection since 2 weeks ago? It hardly changed in 11 months, and now this? So with all intentions of getting none, I came home with RR Damnation, RR Supplication, Stone Saison du Buff, Stone Oak Aged Bastard, and Avery Karma. [:D][:D][:D] I was surprised the oaked bastard was only $2.69 while the supplication was $11.99!

Supplication was on deck at the Green Dragon (50 taps) last Tuesday. I wouldn't be surprised if they're out of it by now, but I should have at least checked on Saturday when I was downtown. This month has been a reviewing record for meand it's not even over yet! In fact, I'm 2 reviews past my previous record and I have 20 left in my iphone notes to put on here. I don't know how some of you guys maintain such a high pace continuously [xx(]

I couldn't resist buying 3 more yesterday. This time I got a super deal because two bottles of NB Lips of Faith weren't ringing up on the scanner. She tried manually entering them a few times without luck. Finally she entered them as a Grocery item for $1.79 each. They were 22oz bombers! LOL I know the one was supposed to be about $6. Too bad the Stone Belgo rang up. That was about $7.
