Store with best beer selection? - Calgarypuck Forums - The Unofficial Calgary Flames Fan Community

Byrns · 04-20-2009, 12:16 PM

My friends and I like to try different import beers and the Crowfoot liquor store doesn't cut it anymore. Can someone recommend a good store that has a lot of foreign beers?

Thanks!

I've been banned from buying alcohol for the past 27 weeks, so I may not be in the loop

but Willowpark always seemed pretty good.

Creekside Coop Liquor Store has won awards based on their selection. Ask for Al.

With the new taxes, I'd like to know which liquor store/chain is the CHEAPEST?

Superstore?

Willowpark has always been good for me as well.

However I was surpised the other day, going to a buddy's to watch the game the liquor store beside the Bull & Finch in Douglasglen carried beer from the Philippines. And on game day if you are wearing your jersey you get 10% off.

Willow Park usually has the best selection, and really good prices too.

Kensington Wine Market has a good selection of all different kinds

Although not a wide selection, I've found a few of my favorite Australian beers available at the wine store in Eau Claire, if it's still there.

Believe it or not, Co-Op is pretty good.

Grocery stores in the states.
I feel like a kid in a candy store whenever I go down there.

Over spring break I was at Costco down there, man I should have skipped duty free and just bought my booze there.

Yeah_Baby · 04-20-2009, 02:27 PM

Does Co-op still stock Jack Daniels Single Barrel?

There are a couple of different "Imperial". You can use the Alberta liquor distributors website to find what stores carry the brand you want. Though call ahead to make sure they have it in stock.

The liquor store on 16th ave in Montgomery had a lot of different German beers in cans that I have not seen anywhere else.

Great selection, prices are about the same.

I 2nd Kensignton wine market......plus they sell singles so you can try a few different ones and not worry about having 4 crappy beers left if they taste bad.

Me and my bro used to collect obscure beer bottles/cans and we used to go there for them.

EDIT: As im looking at this post it doesnt sound good. I sound homeless....buying single beers and collecting cans

<---and a brown paper bag...haha
