Russian River in Ft Collins?

No longer available in Northern Colorado. Closest location is Hazel's in boulder. Their distributor (Elite) sold their rights to the MillerCoors distributor (High Country) and Russian River declined to sign with them. They will now only be available in Denver Area and select spots in boulder county.

 

I can't speak for Ft Collins, but the sours are hanging around now. 5+ years ago, the sours were basically shelf turds, then something happened, and they'd disappear as fast as Pliny. That phenomena seems to have ended in the last year or so. I guess maybe the competition has increased for sours, and also consumers aren't chasing trucks to board $15+ small bottles of the sours.

Anyway, you should be able to find the sours, and maybe get Pliny or Blind Pig on draft. It will take some luck and good timing to get bottles of Pliny.

 

There are much better sour and IPA options around town if they can't find any

 

I saw a few of the sours at Supermarket Liquors on tuesday.

 

I usually see Supplication at Wyatt’s in Longmont.

 

They definitely have plenty of Supplication and Concecration to go around.

 

The Russian River sours do sit on shelves a bit longer than they used to, but I think Fort Collins loaded up on them before the distributor switch, too, so there's some extra hanging out. Should be no problem grabbing Consecration or Supplication. There are no Pliny bottles north of Boulder, though (unless they are old).

 

I remember when you could grab bottles of consecration and temptation whenever...

 

I'll be in the Denver this weekend, are there any shops near Westminster/Thornton that carry bottles of Pliny or the sours?
