    Just go to Supermarket Liquor and/or Wilburs, you will not be disappointed with the selections.

    Ah, prolly not all. Trinity probably not quite yet. The same probably goes for Paradox and maybe Prost. The others should be available.

    OP, If it is more than a weekend vacation you might find a reason to make it into Boulder or Denver, I'm sure you could come up with some sort of reason....

    Prost is available in Fort Collins, but only in growlers. Prices range from $12.99 to $15.99 depending on the store and the beer.

    I'm pretty sure you can buy "growlers" from Prost at Wilbur's.

    Maybe a guy should carry some War & Peace with him for possible trades?

    Boulder and Denver are great, but you could spend 10 days in Ft. Collins and be a happy drinker :slight_smile:

    This. I lived in Ft. Collins for five years and never got tired of the offerings and it just kept getting better.

    Funkwerks and Oskar Blues, If you get to Boulder definitely stop by Avery tap room, it's awesome and you can buy beer there you wouldn't find back home.

    Trinity should be on shelves here in Ft. Collins by the time you get here.
