24 pack...$24.99. This stuff is 10 bucks a sixer at the grocery store when it's not on sale, and that's usually only a buck off. I'm a happy boy. 
Dead guy. Gotta love CostCo

Too bad here in communist Montgomery County MD, all the liquor/wine/beer must be bought from the county gov't and must be sold at a county liquor store or a sanctioned beer + wine deli. A handful of states regulate alcohol this way, but Montgomery County, MD is the only county in the nation that holds that control, and they will likely never let go of it

Oh I sympathize. Years ago I lived there and I remember how odd it all seemed (and I wasn't much of a beer drinker back then, but it seemed like a huge inconvenience)
They have odd laws in Mass. There are a couple of towns that seem to have relaxed laws and/or the stores/franchises have some loophole they get through. There's a Trader Joe's in Cambridge, MA that has super discounted beer and wine. An unexpected bonus - their annual special TJ's ale is made by Unibroue and is almost always very tasty (and it's about $5.99 for a bomber)

That's epic. I've seen it for as high as 15 a six pack here. We don't have a costco that I know about, but we have BJ's which is similar, and all the most "quality" thing that they have is heineken.

There's one in Durham. That's the closest.
It's a law that'll allow stores like CostCo to sell booze.

More importantly it is designed to get rid of the 50% markup the state puts on liquor.

Our Costco in the SF Bay Area doesn't have this, but they do carry the "Kirkland" Brand of mixed varieties brewed by Gordon Biersch for really cheap < $20 for a case of 24. Also, you can go to Trader Joe's and get Firestone Walker at $5.99/6 pack for their "Mission Street" line of pale ales, IPAs, Brown Ales, Hefewiezen's.

I can only get Arrogant Bastard in single bombers too. That's why I clone it so I can have 5 gallon batches of my own.

It's a little bit of a drive but Corridor Fine Wine in Laurel has a pretty good selection of beers.
It's basically Total Wine getting around MD laws.

I'm not over in the Beltsville/CP area too often, but I imagine it's pretty decent. Once you get into PG county there are independent liquor stores, you can buy beer at the gas station, etc. Total Wine in Virginia is awesome.
Montgomery County calls itself a "Control Jurisdiction" http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/dlctmpl.asp?url=/Content/dlc/liquor/home/history.asp and talks about it as if it's a great thing. The "Great thing" of course, is over $200M into the County Gov'ts coffers instead of going into the private sector over the last decade. That financial aspect of it is why they will never relinquish what they consider their "right" to sell liquor to the public. By ordaining it as a "right" that only the gov't has, anyone who's not the gov't and is selling booze is in violation. I never knew there were "rights" that gov't exclusively had that didn't apply to the People.
Most of the content on MoCo's page comes directly from propaganda page of the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association http://www.nabca.org/ (look under MD)
It's all about control. The Government just wants more and more control. The more control they get, the less freedom We The People have.

I'm surprised we (I work at Costco in Washington) have been carrying Dead Guy Ale for as long as we have this year. Generally it's only an item we have in stock near October for Halloween, but we've been carrying it since May/June and there is no sign of us stopping.
I'd really like Costco to start carrying the variety pack of Stone beers, but I'll have to sate that with Jubelale in October.

You need to go to "cork and fork" in Bethesda. We have all the Stone beers, including the seasonal ones as available, in the Gainesville store.
We have a store in DC as well. Its nearly impossible to keep the beer in stock so you can be assured it is fresh. Be sure to tell them Alex from the Gainesville store sent you.
BTW - we offer "make your own six pack" so you can pull bottles out of individual 6/4 packs and mix and match as you want.
