Costco and Craft Beer

Oh right, the report from the Danvers MA Costco:
Sam and Harpoon cases $25 ish bucks. Best thing I saw was Dogfish head 60 min case for $32. No individual bottles, bombers. Nothing special really. I was hoping for some Jack's Abbey. $12 for 5 sticks of Gillette Cool wave though, made it all worth it ha.

 

Selection at Waltham is much better. Cases of Jack's Abby, Lagunitas IPA, Paulaner O-fest, etc: http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/good-beer-back-at-ma-costco.199867/#post-2761823

Oh, and you don't need to be a member to buy booze at MA Costcos.

 

Saw Enjoy By 10/31/14 at Costco yesterday for a great price of $4.97. Needless to say I couldn't resist.

 

And I live in MD so I am jealous of states where you can actually get beer at places like Costco, Walmart, Wegmans, etc.

 

Costco in Clearwater still has the cases of Jai Alai for $36.99

The problem is, they must have bought a whole truckload. Dates on the bottom are still 8/4/14. That's a bit long in the tooth for Jai Alai. Even if they reduced it to $24.97, I'd pass.

 

ohhh alright! i'll buy these since you mofos are forcing the issue. again.

 

Now you are making me make a trip to Costco to see if they have the same deal in Madison.

 

I can't wait for the day my local Costco starts selling beer. This year we saved about 20$ a pound on Alaskan king crabs buying at Costco vs the local seafood joint.

 

Wish I saw this before I went out for lunch. Gotta try and stop by later.

 

WOW. It's almost 7 times the price at my local shop

 

I just did a round of the little craft bomber stand at the Lincoln Park Costco in Chicago (the one at Clybourn/Damen/Diversey) yesterday - they had:

- Boulevard Smokestack Series Imperial Stout and Tank 7
- Green Flash IPA
- Revolution Cross of Gold and Double Fist (or is it Coup d'Etat? Can't recall)
- Rogue MoM
- a couple of Goose Island "sisters" (I think currently Lolita & Sophia)
- Stone Arrogant Bastard and Lucky Basartd (they recently had Double Bastard, Smoked Porter w/ Vanilla, and Enjoy By 12.26.14)
- Delerium Tremens
- a handful of other Belgian beers (I believe Chimay Blue & Red, Duvel, and Saison Dupont were in the mix)
- Unibroue's Le Fin du Monde
- Ommegang Hennepin
- a Virtue cider (currently Lapinette, I believe)
- J.K. Scrumpy Orchard Gate Gold cider (a.k.a. "regular")

There were a bunch more, but I don't remember them off the top of my head.

 

NJ Costco's not nearly as interesting for beer - did you happen to notice how much the Christmas magnums were selling for? Cheers and enjoy!

 

Our Costco(s) don't have shit... relatively speaking.

 

A Costco price ending in .97 is a manager's markdown, and the asterisk means that the product is not coming back. This is a clearance price, and a good one.

 

That's a cheaper drunk than picking up a Mickey's from your local 7-11. Micky's=5% ABV 40oz.. Christmas Ale=10%abv 25.4oz

 

Went to the Bolingbrook, IL store this weekend and it was a disappointment. No singles, all 24 packs and only a few craft options. In contrast, our local Indiana Costco carries about 2 dozen single bottles, including some very good options. They are my go-to for Arrogant Bastard, Tank 7, and the main GI sisters.

 

Costco is a hell of a drug.

 

I go to few different Cosctos in Chicagoland and have never found any singles.

 

Purp1eOne - you might want to try the Lincoln Park location - per ChicagoGuy, they have a stock not too different from the one I have available at both of the Indianapolis Costco locations.
