Re: Where to get British Beer!
x2 for liquormart in boulder; much of the isles stuff is bottled but better than naught. I've managed to get Whitbread, Tetleys, Hardy, selection of the Sam Smith and the usual - wexford, boddingtons, beamish fullers etc. The hard thing though it all depends on their distributors.
Also try and give a shout to Superior Liquor and see what they carry. If you want to PM me with a list I can swing by them on my way to/from home someday. I don't know if its still the case but liquormart in boulder used to be the busiest liquor store in the us and it also had the busiest ATM too; the selection of both wine & beer is

Re: Where to get British Beer!
OK ! ............... So this is out of the way for vast numbers of you, BUT .. If you are ever on I-89 in NH, at exit 20 (Just across the line from VT) the Sunoco station at the lights by Shaws strip mall sells loads of British brews I have even seen Elephant ale in there.

Re: Where to get British Beer!
Anybody living in central Illinois should give Friar Tucks in Peoria a try.....they stock over 600 bottled beers and carry around 30-40 English brewed beers....Many are from the small independant brewer's ....I found Moorhouses Black Cat Mild (Blackburn) once ...I was so happy I bought the whole case ....They also stock the bland canned so called cask ales for those who must ...
You can also fill in request forms and the owners will try to get hold of your beer of choice....alas I'm still waiting on Timmy Taylor's Landlord

Re: Where to get British Beer!
We've got a store up in Rochester called Beers of the World... Bet you can't guess what they sell there?
On the British Beer front, they've got the normal stuff (Boddingtons, Bass, Newcastle Brown Ale...etc...) but they've also got a good selection of different stuff and Real Ales including HobGoblin, St Georges Ale, London Pride, Old Speckled Hen, Black Sheep, Strongbow and Tetleys.
No Worthingtons, Theakstons, John Smith, but they do have Samuel Smiths.
Personally, I'd do time right now for the pint of Sneck Lifter, or anything made by Jennings!!!
I e-mailed the brewery a while back and they don't export... To be honest, you'd be lucky to find any Jennings pubs more than 75 miles from the brewery let alone in another country/continent.
