No offense intended, but you are missing the point of west coast beer, by focusing on bottle shops. Sure you can check off some great brands in the box, in a bottle shop; no question. But you'll miss all of the great fresh beer, on tap.
In those terms 99 bottles, Malt and Vine, Belmont Station, and John's Marketplace will cover all your needs. But let's be honest.....you don't even need to leave CVG to get the same items, just order them online.
Find some local brewery's or pubs, etc. Experience the HOPS, and Cascade Dark Ale!
Look at it this way, you can get 4 way chili by combining cans of spaghetti, chili, etc....but is it the same as when you go to Dixie Chili, Empress Chili, or your local favorite?
