“Selection, service and a satisfying shopping experience have always been hallmarks of our business, and partnering with Drizly helps us build on all three of those strengths,” said Josh Vilchuck, Owner of Off Campus Beer & Spirits in West Ames. “It goes without saying, there couldn’t be a better time to begin our partnership with Drizly than during the holiday season. We can now offer the convenience of alcohol delivery to our customers for every occasion and gifting opportunity.”

Whether Iowans are hosting a party, sending a gift, or just enjoying an evening at home, they can now browse and buy through the Drizly website and app for the area’s widest selection of alcohol.”
