The co-op has a great beer selection, and a good amount of refrigerator space. If a beer is distributed in Idaho, you'll likely find it here. The beer pricing is a higher than if you bought the beer at Fred Meyer or Albertson's, but I usually hit the Co-Op for hard to find brews. If Matt is around he's really helpful and able to answer questions, but sometimes you're on your own. If you have mobile access to Beer Advocate or Rate Beer it helps.

If you're not a member of the co-op (I think it's an $80 fee to become a member) then you pay an extra 15% on top of the marked price.

If you need beer, then there is no better place in Boise to buy it than the Co-Op. They have the largest selection of bottled beer in the valley, and probably the state. All the kinds of beer that can be found in Idaho (which, regrettably, is limited in some regards) can be found here.

They have an excellent western microbrew selection and a surprisingly large European and Asian selection as well (English, German and Belgian are the focus of the imports). They even have the few gluten-free beers available that can be found around here.

If Matt is around he can answer any beer question you have. While always very busy, he still takes the time to make sure customers are well taken care of.

While you're there stop by the butchers and pick up some fantastic Snake River Farms Kobe beef to go with that world-class beer you just bought!
