Single Beer Bottles, Colorado Springs
Coal Train has some single 12oz, but many many more 22oz and pints - a
great selection. Coal Train is @ Uintah & 25. The best all-around selection though is probably had at Springs Liquor Outlet on N. Carefree & Powers. _Randal |

It's exactly the same in every way except for the name. Plus it's brand
new and they have a *LOT* more bomber singles. I just love a place that keeps all its beer in the cooler. _Randal |

It's too bad the yellow pages isn't of better use...if stores with a large beer selection would just list themselves under "Beer", it wouldn't be such a pain to find the needles in the haystack when travelling. Thanks, Ern |

If you are just travelling through I would recommend you pay a visit to
the Bristol Brewery tasting area. Always something unique on tap in a relaxed envrionment for the travel weary. Darn good beer too. http://www.bristolbrewing.com _Randal |

Yeah their regular beers are dependable and clean but you'll find no
tongue poppers. Now, their Skull-N-Bones experiments on the other hand are outstanding. Pseudo-spontaneously fermented with wild yeast based on 7 isolates from wild raspberries in Cheyenne Mountain Canyon and secondary fermented in oak casks that have been innoculated with the aformentioned yeast and honey additions. Excellent excellent beers. _Randal |

Heck, I don't even like to buy beer in 6-packs, when they may have been exposed to long to light...). > > They did have a nice selection of Dogfish Head beers, but no World Wide > Stout... I think one may only come loose (never seen it as part of a six- or four-pack like many of the other DH beers) and IIRC it's only brewed once a year and has a limited distribution, so maybe you've answered your own question... |

@f14g2000cwb.googlegroups.com: > Is there perhaps a Colorado law that prevents buying singls? Nope. Plenty of stores sell 12oz bottles in singles in Denver, Boulder, Ft. Collins, etc. Others don't, so...depends on the store. > They did have a nice selection of Dogfish Head beers, but no World Wide > Stout... Liquor Mart in Boulder still has some of the 2004 edition (2001 and 2003 have been the best so far IMHO). So you still should be able to chance across it. Cheers, Ern |
