Denver Drinkers, Need Advice!

[jdirienzi]

Next week I will be traveling to Denver from Philadelphia and will be bringing with me an extra suitcase solely for beer. My question, what is the best store to do my shopping? Who has the best and biggest selection?

Also, has anyone ever used this site, or something like it? It seems up to date, the date on the spreadsheet is 2014-12-08. Anyone know of anything similar?

Thanks in advance!

I'm not from Denver, but I've been there. A friend from there recommended Grapevine Liquors to me last time I was there. They had a good selection of craft beers and some good prices on specials. I'll give you the the same warning he gave me though: the place looks pretty ghetto from the outside. Don't let the appearance deter you.

Where will you be? Argonauts is pretty solid.

Tipsy's Liquor world has an awesome selection. They have an entire walk-in dedicated to single and bombers- many of which are Colorado brews.

Tipsy's is a bit west of downtown-but well worth the visit.

Make sure to grab some Troegs Nugget Nectar.

Cheers.

I'll be staying with friends, I cant remember where they live, but its about 20min west of denver, but I know we will be spending time in denver. Google says Argonauts is around the corner from the Ogden theater, and I'll be there friday night to see Moe, so I'll definitely stop there.

Troegs is about an hour and a half away from me, the Nectar flows like water! They even canned it this year!

Cheers!:rockin:

Oops, I just realized you're going to Denver from Philly, not the other way around. It's early. Have fun in Denver - it's a great town.

Cheers.

I just looked up Tipsys, and the pic they have on their site is insane, looks like its definitely worth the trip.

Thanks! :fro:

If you're ever heading up to Boulder, Hazel's Liquor is amazing

If your out by boulder or anywhere down 36 check out superior liqour or total beverage off 92nd and Sheridan. Ogden is a good venue last time I was there the band played hackie sack with us before they had to set up.

If you are looking for any beer suggestions, and by chance you are an Imperial Stout fan (as am I)-

Tipsy's is one of 2 places I know of that might have a few bottles left of AC Golden's CTAYT-
This brew is incredible-It would be a fun one to take back to PA (as it is a very small release in CO).

Cheers!

Make sure you bring your coat with you into the store. They have a nicely stocked walk-in.

Make sure you visit the Falling Rock Tap House too...
