beer run

Liquor store trip

A beer run is a quick trip to buy beer, typically from a nearby store during a gathering or party when supplies run low.

The term emphasizes speed and single-purpose: I'm making a beer run—anyone need anything?

It can extend to other alcohol or snacks but beer remains the prototype.
