Craft Beer Cellar in Fort Collins closing

That’s lame.
Parking in the area was at times a challenge, but they always had the best of the best selection around. Total bummer

 

A favorite of mine. Would stop in 2-3 times a year for beer and conversation.

 

I hate to see places like this go. I am afraid that we are going to see more of this though. How can a guy sell milk at a store in a town full of creameries?

 

this is such a bummer! about to go to ft collins again in a couple of weeks and was planning on hitting it up. every time i went there i had a great experience, the employees could not have been any nicer, great reccs, etc.

i assume wilbur's is the place to go for...to-go now?

 

I would suggest Supermarket Liquor... Wilbur’s is okay, but the prices aren’t as good. Selection is generally comparable in my experience...

 

nice, thanks! never been there...will check it out for sure.

 

Yeah that’s a good point... I don’t chase trucks ever, but end up scooping lots of stuff I don’t expect to find

 

Really? You guys are surprised? Only went once and it was depressing. I’ve seen a few of those places go out of business in the last 6 months or so. They’re sterile franchise business with shitty IKEA displays... no identity, no soul. They actually kind of sum up Craft Beer at the moment.

 

you are thinking of the wrong place

 

They definitely had ikea stuff, but otherwise ya missed it @wasatchback — a sterile place doesn’t even begin to have floors that creek like that.

Incredible selection, even more knowledgeable staff, and a great location...
though I suspect the rent for that spot is bananas and a major factor.

They had so many great things that you literally saw nowhere else- nowhere.

 

I loved the folks at CBC and were a big part of the reason I got into the craft beer industry. Chris and Justin were beyond supportive individuals and great contributors to the craft beer community.
