Excellent beer selection and helpful staff. I’m not from he area and was overwhelmed with the number of beers I can’t get at home....

This place has a decent selection of west coast beers, so for me there was a lot to buy. They were out of Pliny the Elder, but here I am in Montrose, CO now, and the The Liquor Store has plenty. The guy behind the counter was only slightly helpful, and was either not authorized, or too cheap to offer up a free glass after a big purchase like most respectable, quality beer and liquor stores do. For some of you who don’t already know, most stores get those glasses free from their distributors.

Good location (next to interstate 25, exit 143). Good selection of beers overall. Service can be hit or miss depending on which employee you get, but usually they are friendly and helpful. The store has always been clean and in good condition when I have visited. Not the cheapest prices in town, but still worth the trip considering the selection and location. Definitely one of the top liquor stores in Colorado Springs.

This is a mecca of great beer(and wine) in our little city... don’t know how I could have survived without them. They supply all the Trappists, every micro available to the town, including the recently available California beers from Russian River and Lost Abbey... these guys really make the effort to please. I’ve actually given them a wish list and they’ve done their best to get the stuff on it... awesome. Great job guys.

Smallish store that doesn’t look like much from Outside. Inside it has a decent selection of beers, but almost all local beers are only available in 6 packs instead of in singles. There were some nice seasonals and specials such as La Folie, Stone 12th, Deschutes 20th Ann. Wit, and some others. They also had a nice seleciton of Mikkeller and Nogne O beers along with some other nice foreign brews. Decent prices, but not the cheapest around. Service was friendly. Nice store overall.

A very nice selection with knowledgeable people. Impressed with their selection compared to other CS liquor stores. Definitely a must see.

Stopped here on my way from the Colorado Springs Airport to Frisco. Very convenient location if you’re on I-25, as it’s just off the exit ramp. Excellent selection of virtually all of the Colorado breweries, and also a number of others from the Northwest. As others have mentioned, the more unusual and limited stuff is on shelves behind the register. The clerk was helpful, and familiar with everything I asked about. Decent Belgian selection, but not anything all that rare. I did pick up a La Folie and an Abyss. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area.

Conducted some business via phone/internet and had my folks pick up the stuff while they were in Colorado Springs. This place is friendly and very helpful and even offerred to set up an airport delivery for any future corporate jet stops / refuelings at the CS aviation center. They have La Folie, which was the highlight for me and the mission I sent my folks mainly on. But, there’s a huge selection here of just about anything available in the area. I’ll definitely stop by if I’m in CS in the future. Until then, I know where to continue sending friends & family!

I wasn’t expecting much from this little store, but it actually ended up being one of the best selections in the Springs that I have seen. Somewhat limited selection of 6 and 12 packs, but the singles and Belgians available made up for that. It does suck that the singles are behind the counter and you have to ask someone just to check something out, but at least you can find some stuff here. The staff I spoke with seemed to be relatively knowledgeable of beer and helped recommend me some Belgians. Probably my favorite store in the Springs, but it is nothing compared to my usual stops in Fort Collins.

Very friendly service and nice selection. Nice atmosphere in this store as well. Would be nice to see more singled out six packs, but maybe I’m spoiled...
