    Fellow BA-

    I will be in Denver for work and I am staying at the Hilton Garden Inn downtown. I have been to GABF 2 years in a row and am relatively familiar with the area. However, I can always use any tips or recommendations of places to go. Basically I am looking for some good places to eat, places to buy some good bottles to take back to Chicago, or any cool spots to check out.

    I def want to revisit Crooked Stave. Probably will go check out Falling Rock. Ive been to Mister B’s (recall getting some pretty good things)

    I also will have a car…btw

    Thanks in advance.

    I think it's time for a Denver Beer Scene app.

    "Denver Beer Scene App" should be our new search term, you know, until we actually do get an app for all this.

    But all one word so that mentioning it to someone doesn't show up in the results.

    Any 'must-go' beer stores while in Denver?

    Check the Stores in Prospero's post above. There isn't one particular store to rule them all, but most sections of town tend to have 1-2 good options.
    The only other one I'd add would be Chambers Wine & Liquor located a few blocks from Dry Dock. Dry Dock's a pretty popular destination and that's a really good store that isn't too far away.

    Scott at Mr. B's is awesome. If you happen to be in the DU area, I love Little's Fine Wines, Spirits, and Beer. They have a really nice beer cave and Clayton customer service skills are superb.

    What's near the Pepsi Center? I might try to catch an Avalanche game in mid-January. Bars/pubs with local taps or stores with local beer? Good value? Good food? Places to avoid? Coming up from ABQ. Looking for sours like Crooked Stave and west coast IPAs. FW Union Jack would be fine since I can't get it NM, after being used to having it in Tucson. Thanks.

    Fresh Craft is right there. As is Euclid Hall, though I am not as big a fan as most here seem to be.

    When these posts come up it makes me realize how great a beer city we have.

    Fresh local taps? Pretty much everywhere...Great bottle shops? A few in each part of town that know the scene and get pretty much everything.

    You dont have to search or head to an certain shop to find great beer...oh yeah and theres a brewery on every block and quite a few of them are world class.
