The store gave me a discount of $2.00 on a $417.00 purchase. I did not get 10% off on a case buy. We questioned the cashier and his response is that it would bring it below state min. Did he really analyze each wine I bought to determine this? I go to other stores and the retail is $1.00 less and I get 10% off. Not that I go there often but now I never will. They do have a good selection, but a bit overpriced.

I thought the beer was delicious and will go back for more. The release party was so much fun. It is all about celebrating and supporting women in the fermented/alcoholic beverage industry. Who knew that these incredible women in the industry now have a global society supporting the advancement of women and non-binary individuals in the industry? I was there in the afternoon to enjoy music by Arlene Wow, lots of swag, Girl Scout cookies and the Pink Boots Society - all in support of the women brewers!

An underwhelming return to Aspen…read more After staying away from Aspen for a while due to a past decline in quality, we decided to give it another try on a Tuesday evening to take advantage of their 15% discount. Unfortunately, the experience fell short of expectations. The Food The meals were a bit disappointing, especially considering the standard menu pricing. My wife requested that her scallops not be undercooked. The server politely noted that overcooking them makes them tough, reassuring us they are always "cooked to perfection" here. However, when the plate arrived, they were quite undercooked and needed to go back to the kitchen. Even after being reheated, they unfortunately remained undercooked. My beef tenderloin tips meal was acceptable but fairly ordinary and didn't quite live up to a premium price. Both entrees featured puréed potatoes and what were listed as "asparagus tips". We had to chuckle when the plates arrived, as the asparagus servings were mostly the stalks and very sparse on the actual tips. The service itself was perfectly fine, though there was a minor hiccup at the end. When the check arrived, the 15% discount hadn't been applied. The server was apologetic, mentioning it was the first night of the promotion, and quickly corrected it for us. Overall Impression Even with the discount, the dinner felt fairly marginal for the cost. The overall atmosphere was a bit uninspiring, and given the disappointment with the food, we likely won't be rushing back anytime soon.

We then finished off with a special coconut cake that was so moist and great flavor. Overall a really lovely meal and would come back!

The beer was cold and the food was pretty good. The had lots of different options. I would have liked to have seen some more traditional English dishes though like bangers and mash, or sausage rolls, or even a shepherds pie maybe. But they did have fish and chips. I opted for the Chicken and Waffles, and it was just what I wanted. They used a siracha maple syrup which was different, yet pretty tasty. I also sampled the Mac and cheese and the French fries--All very good. The place was pretty big, in fact it seemed bigger than its parking lot size. They had both indoor and outdoor seating and lots of it. On a Sunday afternoon, they weren't too busy. It is a place I would return though.
