I was at Costco in Austin the other day, and in the beer aisle I spotted a case of Kirkland Signature "Handcrafted Lagers and Ales". (Kirkland is Costco's store brand.) The whole case was only $18.99, so I thought, "How bad could it be?" Turns out the answer is "not bad at all!"
The box contains a six-pack each of German-style Lager, Hefeweizen, Amber Ale, and Pale Ale. All four beers are a bit malty but pretty well balanced. They're more like each other than different, though all of them are pretty good. The side of the box says "Brewed and bottled by New Yorker Brewing Co., Utica, New York."
The bottles are nice and relatively thick, with a nice lip for capping. And as you can see, it comes with four plain-white carriers, too. The way I figure it, buying a case of new brown bottles at Austin Homebrew Supply would cost me $15, with another $4 for the carriers, so I'm basically getting the beer for just the cost of an OxyClean soak.
I know this is being sold in Austin, but I have no idea about any other cities. If you pick up some in your area, let us know!
