Costco has discontinued Kirkland Signature Light beer

#1

Post by golf_lover44 »

Yesterday evening while perusing my Costco’s beer and wine aisle, I saw the usual suspects—the Kirkland Signature Craft Brewed mixed pack, margarita mix by the gallon—but one mainstay was missing. The staple Kirkland Signature Light beer, sold in 48 packs, was nowhere to be found.

I asked an assistant manager at my Costco about it, and he told me the beer had been discontinued nationwide. “They’re not making it anymore,” he told me. Nowhere? “Nowhere.”

I’ve reached out to Costco for comment, but Costco makes clear that it doesn’t have a media relations or PR department and there may be a delay in its response, if it responds at all. The news of the demise of Kirkland Light, however, was too pressing, too important not to share with you all right this very instant.

Though Kirkland Light beer was reportedly notverygood (I’ve never had it, and perhaps now I never will), it did have a cult following. Notably, a man named Randy filmed an entire commercial for the beer, which went viral after he posted it to Reddit. Memorable lines: “Kirkland Light: It’s 11 a.m. somewhere!”

While this news doesn’t indicate that Kirkland Light could never make a grand return, it seems to be off the shelves for the time being.

Costco's the heartbreak hotel for me. Every time we get hooked on one of their products, it disappears.

I have never tried Kirkland Signature Light either. It sounds like the name of a typeface.

Every can had a different taste, that beer (swill) truly sucked.

I tried it a while ago only because of the potential bang for the buck factor. It tasted so bland that I had to add salt, hot sauce, Kool Aid powder, anything to give it enough "character" to keep me from dumping the whole carton.

My Poker buddy bought a 48 pack of it and tried to sneak it in to the fridges of other players only to have it returned the next poker game.
