I rarely go out these days (the chain reaches barely to the end of the driveway) but on that rare occasion we in Denver, Colorado are lucky to have Pints Pub.
They claim to have the largest selection of single malt in the US, with 260 expressions from 120+ distillers. Its great fun to pore through their inch think menu of drams ... each entry carries (someones) description of the offering. Last week we stopped by for a dram and I ordered a new one for me that sounded lovely. It is now a new favorite of mine ... Bowmore Darkest. I know some of us here don't care for a sherry finish on an Islay malt, but for me it tames what can, for my taste, be the "in your face" factor that some Islays bring.
I'm curious to hear what local establishments are available to others in the group ... I know we are quite diverse and I'm guessing our pubs are as well :-)
cheers
