Whole Foods Wine and Spirits

Found this to be a nice place to pick up a few beers. I just made a quick run in here for a mix 6 and a couple of extra singles from their seasonal display. Tried to do all CO, so I didn’t take a long look at the rest of their stuff. Very clean store, not much ambiance otherwise, but I don’t need much else in a beer store. I thought the prices were fairly reasonable. Solid selection of local beers I hadn’t seen elsewhere makes it good for a traveler like me just stopping through.

A pretty cool liquor store in Boulder. Nice selection of craft beer in coolers. Decent prices, good service.

Big liquor store connected to whole foods. All beer is kept cold and the service really good.

Average Liquor Store with a decent beer selection but nothing special. The service is good ad half Knowledgeable. The prices are fair but a little high for a store this size.

A moderately sized liquor store. Not a ton of beer, flat rate mix and match six part with decent selection. Occasionally have some hard to find beers. A pretty good bottle shop.

After A few days in Colorado I’m sensing themes at the liquor stores. They typically have all the beer refridgertated except for a seasonal display. Beer is typically an afterthought. The ambience is usually walgreen’s circa 1982. The pick six sections are comically small and full of stuff you’d never want to see in a pick six. And the BMC is usually in the back. This was the most beer forward store I visited and they had in addition to a voluminous Colorado section a nice national and imported craft sections. They also had 4-5 Russian Rivers. As I was checking out the sales clerk told me they were getting some Pliny the Elder but you had to ask for it. I’ll definitely head back here the next time I’m In town.

I may be overcompensating on the selection here because i found 3 bottles of BA Yeti during GABF week, but overall there was a good variety. Prices were really, really reasonable. Helpful staff as always.

Largish liquor store attached to, but not directly connected with the Whole Foods next door - long wall of coolers - a fair amount of imports, but nothing compared to the better stores in the area - decent craft selection, but some notable locals are missing - prices were fair, with a few notable sales - limited mix a six selection, containing mostly crap - nothing special, but probably good for stocking up on sale items.

Picked up 9 beers I hadn’t rated, and some were hard to get like DFH and Victory Buff. Down side is no mix and match singles. If you look for beer in Boulder, don’t miss it. Note: My receipt says Ace Wine and Spirits, but the phone matches this place.

Clean store, well-organized, most beer kept cold in coolers, nice staff, fair prices. Good import selection, decent selection of whatever treated / spiced / flavored beer the geeks go nuts for, but the imports are where it’s at here. how to rate service? sometimes they are helpful, sometimes they get snarky when I park my bike inside.
