Why You Should Give Craft Beers At Costco A Pass

While some grocery chains can mimic the craft brewery experience, Costco's business model doesn't allow for that kind of variety as it only offers a niche selection of products.
Therefore, Costco's craft beers probably won't be the experimental or unique choices that craft beer enthusiasts love. Instead, most of them will be easy, crowd-pleasing choices.
This might be convenient for some, but it sort of takes the fun out of the craft beer experience for others, and it's why you might want to skip the craft beer section in Costco.
One member shared on Reddit that Costco’s craft beer selection was "composed of some of the worst beers," citing overwhelming amounts of IPAs with just a few niche stout options.
Some believe that Costco’s craft beverages are likely not truly craft, suggesting that most genuine craft breweries cannot probably fulfill orders for large chains like Costco.
