Just got back from a trip to Greenville. Never leave without stopping at Trader Joe's there:

I love that place.

Here is what we got:
Newton's Folly Draft Cider & Granny Smith Draft Cider, Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale, Young's Double Chocolate Stout ('cause I read all the threads here), sixer of SN's Octoberfest, the last Sam Adam's Octoberfest in the whole store (their supplier can't get anymore), a couple of Pilsner Urquells "since 1842" yeah baby, The King's English IPA "a recipe that launched a thousand ships" yeah baby some more, Henry Hotspur's Hard Pressed for Cider, California ACE Perry (@Kealia have you tried these? looks like they are from your neck of the woods), Sacred Heart IPA (Conquest brewery is from Columbia, SC so I hope this isn't one of the last bottles they made), and finally a case of Two Buck Chuck ('cause BB2 likes wine with his spaghetti).

Looks like a great haul. Nothing wrong with a little Two Buck Chuck!!

I think this should have been the Mixer Sixer thread. Sorry

We're finally getting a Trader Joe's here but I doubt that they can or will sell beer that no one else has since they must use local distributors and play politics. But that's a serious score!

Hey, I'm not sure if I should take that as a compliment or not

I remember many years ago when it WAS still only $2 and my sister brought me home a few.

Years earlier, not knowing what it was, I was in a blind tasting at a friends house (He was a wine snob) and for some reason, that was my #1 wine at that tasting. Since then I've learned I have very very cheap taste ......(no comments please)

Nice haul, BB's.

Yeah I think its called Two and Three Quarters Buck Chuck now. But it is actually a very decent wine compared to the swill you buy cheap at most stores.

I love Traders' business model and their ability to find/contract really great products to make it work. We also got some T J's branded salsas (I've posted them from another trip), some awesome sweet hot peppers (the little round red ones), and some sesame oil.
Pushed the limit of what I could squeeze into the van with the luggage.

Wow, for once I've actually had one of the beers you guys are talking about. The Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale, an excellent brown ale.
