Costco is all belgian

[rob211]

I've been to Indian Wells. I tried everything they had on tap and other than their Lobotomy doppelbock I wasn't too impressed. They all tasted pretty much alike and fairly bland. If you happen to be passing through that way it might be worth a stop, but it's not worth making a dedicated trip.

I liked the Orange Blossom; thought it was their best. But maybe that's because it was a hot late spring day. Mojave Red is pretty good as well. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area; it's right on the highway. Lotta interesting history thereabouts.

Just got back from the Costco in Rancho Cordova. I couldn't believe my eyes... Delerium Tremens.... 750ML bottles for 9.99 and Unibroue La Fin du Monde for 7.49...

I think the craft beer revolution has started to pick up some steam!:rockin:

Costco is based in Washington state. People take their beer seriously there. Costco (Kirkland Signature) has produced its own beer for years. Not sure if that's revolution. But Unibroue for $7.50 sounds like a fair price. I like their witbier offering. I used to visit Costco religiously for imported german wheat beer when I lived near Virginia, but around Boston, it's not worth the trip.

I miss the California Costco's.....out here in PA/NJ, Costco doesn't sell alcohol

Not true. Yay! Costco in Edison NJ sells alcohol. Lucky for me I guess.edit: didn't see someone else mentioned this already.

Sorry, Maryland grocery stores (even Costco) cannot sell alcohol.

Grocery stores on the Eastern Shore of Maryland sell beer. They even have Budweiser in 10oz cans. Not that I buy Bud anymore...but there was that dark period of my life that I did.

Psych, the Costcos in Connecticut don't sell anything alcoholic either. I feel your pain.

The costco in Enfield does.

I make a point when south of the border to swing i to a Costco. The price break is great for Canadians.
The Kirkland signature vodka (1.75l) used to be distilled in France by grey goose. Not sure if that still holds true. But it was last year in the Hawaiian Costcos. Nice stuff!
Glad to hear the selection is improving.

I think the vodka is still re-branded Grey Goose, at least last I heard. Also, the Kirkland scotch is re-branded 12 year Macallan.

The vodka was never distilled by Grey Goose, but it was made in a French distillery costco purchased from Grey Goose. The bourbon is from Jim Beam (haven't had it) and around here they only have the 20yo Kirkland Scotch ($45). I'm intrigued, but $45 is a lot to drop on an unknown bottle of scotch.
