I braved the horde of masses this morning to visit CostCo, Docklands Melbourne. Pretty much only the big boys were on offering - Cascade, Coopers (pale only), Boags, Crown L, VB & Carlton and pricing was not flash. I'd at least expected to find Interbrew Stella or the like, but nope.
Prices (all 24 bottle slab):
VB $36.99
Carton $36.99
Corona $51.99
Boags $44.89
Coopers Pale $41.99
Spirits:
1L Absolute (Vodka) $42.99
700ml Jack Daniels $34.98
glossed over the other spirits, champagne and wine on offer. And certainly, there were a few other brands of beers available, but nothing from the craft sector. I'm not sure these two worlds need to meet, anyway.
Point is, CostCo will not give you savings on booze in Aus. Better to keep your ear to the ground and hit local bottle shops, Dan Murphys and the like for weekly specials.. Grosvenor Cellars (East St. Kilda) opening new this Saturday, have slabs of bottle VB for $25/slab; 2 slab limit, for example.
Pretty much a pointless thread, but figured I'd throw it out there in case others were wondering which beers CostCo will sell. Obviously, selection and pricing may change.. and I'll note they've only been open 1 week.
Cheers,
