    I went to the Morena Blvd location in San Diego today and the only bombers they had were Ballast Point Dorado. Wondering when they change the selection cause a couple weeks ago they were selling some Saison Du Pont bombers and another belgian.

    C'mon man. You're a Costco shopper, you know as well as me that the asterisk means "We're not getting any more of these and want them off the shelf, please do us a favor and buy them all". You would have done them a favor if you bought them all!

    Damn. That's my Costco. No need for me to go in now, although someone mentioned a few of their own branded wines were highly rated, so it might be worth a visit for my wife.

    Some of their branded wines and liquor are pretty decent actually. Beer selection sucked when I went in there about a month ago.

    Guess I will be going there from now on. The Lakewood Costco hasn't been carrying the 24 packs of Stone IPA like it used to.

    FWIW- If it hasn't been mentioned, no membership need at Sams Club.

    Salud!

    The Costco in Spokane valley doesn't sell the good stuff. The only thing decent they sell are cases of Alaskan (right now the summer version). The rest is Mexican beers (I think it's the dos Equis, modello mix case), pyramid, and the usual InBev stuff. I haven't checked the one in north Spokane yet. Half the time, I go up to TW or go to the class VI here on base.

    I remember Northridge's Costco having a few Unibroue's earlier this year.

    Can you imagine. Think of the harp music and stuff you would hear in your head if you ever saw that.

    I went to my local Costco (Clearwater, FL) last night, hoping that some of these glorious stories of finding amazing craft beer at Costco would hold true for me..... A RESOUNDING NO!

    They had cases of some Magic Hat selection, which included #9 (couldn't remember the other 3 beers in there) for $26 (give or take). The had cases of Sam Adams Summer Selections (6 varieties, 4 bottles each... included plain Boston Lager), again for around $26. That was it. Other than that, the usual selections of Miller Lite, Corona, Heineken, Coors Light, Bud Light, and some "Mexican Variety Case that included Dos Equis". If they do get any more of the Chimay bombers, I may grab a bunch if they're still $9.99. They went up to $12.99 recently at my Total Wine. :angry:

    I stopped at the Costco in Bloomfield Hills and they must have had at least a couple dozen "big-bottle-beers" (as my wife calls them.:slight_smile: . A good mix of IPA's and Belgians including both Red and Blue Chimay's, Arrogant Bastard, and a Delirium Tremens which quickly found it's way into my cart. Most were under $10 and a few as low as $7.

    I would have pushed all of these boxes into my cart and ask for any remaining case in the back so I can share 'em with BA fellows! 10.99 bucks? That's a fucking steal.
