Journalistic error here - the truck wasn't delivering beer - it was delivering Budweiser.

Ha, I haven't had the heart to tell him that. The reality is through licensing agreements they distribute IIRC 100+ different beers, some very fine local and micro brews. One of the last ones I tried was a nitrogen charged vanilla porter from Breckenridge ( they invented some new way of charging that particular one: http://www.breckbrew.com/beers/nitro-vanilla-porter ). Ft Collins is one of those micro brewing capitals ).

Edit to add this beer too: Never had a beer like this one but very tasty! http://www.chicagotribune.com/dining...030-story.html

If it's going to deliver to me, it better be able to open gates.
