Biggest liquor store in North America. Need I say more? Consistently cheaper than any other liquor store. Good selection of beer, wine, liquors, and all of the extras. They don't take credit cards, however, so bring cash or an ATM card. If you're heading up into the mountains, stock up here.

This place has everything...including a wide selection of import beers. Lots of great German beers to choose from. Best prices on Paulaner and Hacker that I have ever seen. Great discounts on the more expensive Scotch and Tequila brands. Well worth a visit. The sheer size of the place is impressive.

I was thoroughly unimpressed by applejack.The fact that they don't take credit cards is a major let down. I carry a debit card not checks, it it is the year 2006 not 1986. The beer selection sucked big time with mostly macros taking up all the space. What few bombers they did have were at least a dollar more than every other store I like. I will not return to Applejack and would not recommend that any BA visit unless you are looking for wine. They were doing a pretty healthy business when I stopped in so I guess most people use cash.

--updated 01/2010 I bumped teh scores after a visit this month. They now take credit cards and their selection is ok.

Applejack is a good store if you're in the area, but for beer it's only average. Prices are really good, but in general you're mainly just going to find macros, local brews, but occasional rarities or seasonals from the larger micros such as O'Fallon.
Prices are as good as you'll find anywhere, but keep in mind that they only take cash or checks (checks...it still amazes me that they're still so common). They *do* however have an ATM in the store.
It also has an amazing wine selection, although that's somewhat unrelated here on BA!
I wouldn't go out of my way to head to Applejack for beer alone, but the selection is good if you have other liquor/wine needs as well.
For beer in the metro area, Davidson's and Heritage are the best options.

Located in a strip mall just off I-70. Huge store, with the majority devoted to wine. As I entered I was excited to see the entire back wall devoted to beer. Unfortunately as I started to browse I realized well over half of this was just macros (in a variety of packaging and taking up tons of shelf space. Colorado microbrew selection was good, but the selection from other US micros was limited. Import selection was better than that of the US micros. This would be a great every day beer store if you lived close, but if you are looking to seek out everything the Denver area has to offer I would recommend Total Beverage, Superior Liquor, or Liquor Mart in Boulder before Applejack.

I have to agree with grasshopper. Applejack's is one of the better stores in the Denver area, although I prefer Argonaut's. It's been a several years since I have been there, but I remember them having a very good selection of local micros and a friendly staff. Applejack's has a great wine selection to boot (which my wife loved).

Unlike Argonaut's, Applejack's is in a nice part of town and parking is much easier. If you live on the westside of Denver or its suburbs, Applejack's is a fine store with a solid selection. In fact, I still have my Applejack's bottle opener on my key chain to remember it by. Cheers!

Remember cash/local check only! Applejacks has a very good selection that seems to rotate frequently. They have a really strong German beer selection and the Belguim beer selection seems to vary in terms of selection from time to time. They arevery good about having a good selection of local beers. Their prices are very good which I attribute to working on a cash/check basis(they may take debit). The store is in a great location in the region and fairly easy to get to. The service is good- anytime I have asked the employees seem to know a good deal about what they sell. Some of the beers represented are Colorado microbrews that you can not find at all liquor stores. Overall I would rank this store as one of the better stores to visit if you are in Denver, CO.
