10/18/2006 2:00:49 PM, wednesday, october 18, 2006 [ Updated wednesday, october 18, 2006 ] I don’t live in Denver, and made a special trip out to this store during a visit to Denver because of what I’d read on-line and was disappointed. The store is small, about the size of a gas-station convenience store, and devotes all of its floor space to wine, and nearly all of its cooler space to beer. Selection was pretty high quality, and a better selection of crafts/imports than the Argonaut (the only other Denver liquor store I visited), but the variety available wasn’t fantastic. The store is convenient to US-6 and if you’re going to the mountains from Denver, it is on the way. The guy working the counter didn’t come out from behind the counter, even though my friend & I were the only two people in the store. I asked him what beers were in the Breckenridge sampler (it’s not marked or cut-out), and rather than answering me or cutting open the package, he suggested I should just buy it and find out. That wasn’t really a very helpful answer. Denver sort of seems like a beer mecca, but I couldn’t seem to find a liquor store with a decent beer selection during my visit.

Look hard and you will find some decent brews though. Service was typical, not the type of people that really know their beer it seems. Not very friendly, more of a grab it and go type of place, but nothing offensive.

10/4/2004 5:45:42 PM, monday, october 04, 2004 [ Updated monday, october 04, 2004 ] I was dissappointed with Union Liquors. Not that extensive of a selection, not nearly enough singles available, no case discounts, and high prices. I’m still searching for THE beer store in the Denver area, and I think next time in town I will visit Boulder, as I’ve not had good experiences with Union or Total Beverage.

Comments I worked at this store from 1993 until 1998 and then again in 2000. While working at this store, we made an impact on the Colorado Beer Market that had never been seenn before. Customer Service was a trademark of the store along with knowledge of the beers at the site. We had weekly hand sells where the local breweries sent a rep to the store to sell their product. It is sad to see the store deteriorate in customer service, selection and overall quality after all of the hard work and effort that we put into the store in that 5 year period.
