    Has anyone been to it? If so, what did you think? I liked it a lot! They have this exclusive section from Denver and Boulder that surprised me.

    I popped in and they seem to be really knowledgeable people, and with a great selection. The guy who helped, I think his name was Justin, was really helpful and not pushy at all while recommending a lot of beers I hadn't seen before. The only downside is the parking, as in there isn't any in front of the store.

    Anyway, I thought this place was really cool and will definitely visit when I'm in town.

    It's one of the best stores around. I got the same impression: incredibly helpful, but not pushy at all. They know their stuff.

    I've been there a few times. A huge selection at reasonable prices. A bit above your typical liquor store, but that comes with the territory. They allow you to take singles from most of the 6-packs they carry, which is awesome.

    Ftfy. If there is something in a 4/6 pack you want a single bottle/can of they have no problem with you grabbing a single from it. The owners are great people, staff are awesome and very knowledgeable, and their selection is unmatched in Northern Colorado. They are my favorite local shop by far.

    Huge fan here.

    Those folks are all the things noted above, for sure. Plus they have a nice rewards program and give discounts on cases and bombers when you buy 24 and 6 respectively.

    They always have unique and tasty imports too... More than anything, they are my Station 26 dealer though :sunglasses:

    Echo everything in this thread so far, CBC is amazing. The owners and staff are what make this place worth coming back to. The rewards program is reasonable (2%) so sign up if you plan to be back. Also don't sleep on their tastings, pairings and other events they do around town.

    If you need to be extremely close you can pay to park in the lot just to the south of the store. Or if you want to save a couple bucks you can use the lot of the Larimer County courthouse on the NW corner of Oak and Mason. CBC is a super short hop across Mason from that lot

    This is my go to store, as I'm on the south side of CSU. I just take the MAX up, grab some singles, talk to Chris, Seth and Justin a bit, then head out. It's awesome.

    Did anyone pick up an advent box? Such a cool idea!
