ITS THIRSTY THURSDAY AND IVE BEEN WAITING ALL WEEK FOR TODAY...so lets get right to it!
A new Food Lion just opened up on the new bypass @1738 Bingham Dr in Fayetteville NC and it has one of the coolest beer sections. (If you have been to an existing Food Lion store lately then you have noticed that they are updating the deli and beer sections) At the front of the beer section in this new store there was a larger cooler with all kinds of beers with a small white sign at the bottom that said "Build your own six pack...Mix and match" for $8.99...... "double take"......did I just see what I just think I saw? yes and I have the pictures to prove it in this weeks Thirsty Thursday: PICK YOUR SIX!
This store had many beers to choose from. On the right side, cut out of the picture, there were Coronas availible and up top there was a whole row of different flavored Smirnoff Ice beers. The Following are the beers that were lucky enough to be the chosen out of two six packs:
"Wacko" is slapped across the label but whats really wacko is the beer is really a crisp one. I like this beer. Magic Hat is famous for their sayings listed underneath the cap and this particular one said "remove before drinking"....ah i love it.
OBERON ALE Wheat Ale: 5.8% alc./vol.
This beer has "The scent of a summer afternoon"...and it really does smell that way.
MAGIC HAT #9: 5.1% alc./vol.
If you haven't tried it, try it. This cap said "your phone is ringing"....but it actually was not at the time...but it makes you think....lol
NORTHERN LIGHTS India Pale Ale: 6.5% alc./vol.
This beer's Master Brewer is Mark A. Thompson. On the side of the label the enjoy date is actually notched out of the paper. This beers date was July of 2011. I love July...but I do not love this beer. TOO much bite for me but maybe a little salt would have taken care of that.
WOODCHUCK Hard Cider: 5% alc./vol.
This is a favorite of many beer lovers and it also happens to be Gluten free!
SIERRA NEVADA Pale Ale: 5.6% alc./vol.
What I love about this beer is that it is brewed in Chico, CA!
SWEET WATER 420 Extra Pale Ale: 5.4% alc./vol.
Don't Float The Main Stream and "Drink em' if you got em'" drift across the label along with a fish splashing out of the water. This beer had high expectations on the label...but the beer feel short of the best.
WILD BLUE BERRY LOGGER: 8% alc./vol.
What can I say? This beer blue my mind! It really does taste like a blueberry beer should taste like. It's like a carbonated blueberry drink that also happens to have the highest alcohol content on our list today and wins the award in my book for the most satisfying beer of the night.
DOS EQUIS (2 X'S): 4.8% alc./vol.
This beer has been crafted in Mexico since 1897 and taste like..well...I couldn't really taste this beer. It was the first time I had ever tried it and it just didn't taste like a beer. It was good though...and most intersting....
My thirst was definatly quenched after tasting all this beer and this discovery would not have been possible without two of my partners in crime, Jazzi3J and Just_Chass! Your contributions are always appreciated!
This weekend if your thirsty, hit up the new Food Lion and pick your six!!
