Costco is quietly discontinuing two Kirkland Signature craft beers, including an award-winning brew fans have called "one of the best lagers on the market."
The move will end sales of the highly prized Kirkland Signature Helles Lager and Kirkland Signature Vintage Ale, according to Craft Business Daily (CBD).
The beers were co-branded with Oregon-based craft brewery Deschutes Brewery. CEO Peter Skrbek announced the decision in an early July note to distributors, according to the outlet.
