Best Selection of beer and best place to purchase for value

[zstyles]

We are buying some beer for a charity event we are hosting tomorrow and I was wondering if you all had some input(sarcastically asks) on who has the best beer selection for the best value (not cheapest, but reasonable for the value).

Three places I go:

Ranch Acres (31st/Harvard)
Park Hill (51st/Lewis)
Collins Midtown (17th/Yale..in front of the Target)

Thanks! Will go hit up Collins this evening!

Harvard Liquor (at 11th & Harvard) had a few hard-to-find beers last time I went in.

The BierGarten in Jenks probably has the best selection.  He claims to have every beer available in Oklahoma.  He seems reasonably priced but not the cheapest.

Selection won't be that of Collins or Ranch Acres, but Burton's on Sheridan is usually as cheap as anybody in town.

Interesting that I live about an equal distance from Ranch Acres and Collins.  Certainly, I couldn't have bought a house in close proximity to the two best beer selections in Tulsa on purpose.

B&B Liquor. 69th and Mingo, 98th and Memorial and 71st and Elm in Broken Arrow are huge stores with a wide selection of Beer at fantastic prices. Aspen Liquor at 91st and 145th E Av in B.A. also deserves honorable mention.

They are both about equal distance for me too, 11.6 & 12.0 respectively.  BierGarten in Jenks is only 6.7 mi.  The Crossing and Parkhill South near 101st and Memorial both have good selections and are only about 1.7 mi.

I cannot claim any intentional locating though since non of those places were here in 1971.

Collins is two minutes drive for me from work; not much more from home.  I've almost switched to them exclusively as they're a little more 'open' as far as size.  Both staffs know their beers, but Ranch Acres I think wins by a nose in that department (staff knowledge).

I did get the skinny from Collins on Eric's newest offerings upcoming.

He has a Dunkel coming out pretty soon.

His second in the three beer line he calls 'El Gringo Loco'...the first of which was El Cucuy, will be out soon as well.

As I guessed, he named it 'El Chupacabra'.

I've been to Collins a couple of times.  They definitely have a good selection.  I don't think I've been to Ranch Acres.

Crossing Wine & Spirits has a good selection and some knowledgeable beer guys.  I've been going there for years.

The BierGarten in Jenks is co-owed by a beer geek.

Went to Collins and have to say, was very impressed! Had some beers I hadn't seen offered in Oklahoma stores in general and had some decent prices, they were also very helpful and friendly and gave case discounts without me even asking, plus helped me load them up in the vehicle. +1 for Collins in my book!

Until proven otherwise, I'm going on the assumption that all Oklahoma stores except Biergarten support the current mafia-like system where the game is rigged and the consumer is screwed.

My guess is that most of them wouldn't want the expense of putting in refrigeration for beer.

Refrigerated beer is for wusses.
