Silky Terrier Dog Breed Playing AroundKirkland items are a staple of the Costco shopping experience. The Kirkland beers are labeled as being brewed by Hopfen Und Malz Brewing Co., however, they are actually brewed by Gordon Biersch or Matt Brewing, depending on where you are in the United States. Both are craft breweries that also brew for other brands/labels on a contract basis.
Kirkland is a Costco private label brand, which means it is either owned by Costco or only available at Costco. Naturally, Costco also sells Kirkland beer, which has received mixed reviews from Costco customers and beer drinkers alike. If you were hoping to be invited on a tour of the Kirkland brewery by Costco, you’ll be disappointed to learn that day will never come.
This is due to the fact that Costco lacks any form of brewery and delegated the production of Kirkland beer to someone else. Your Kirkland beer could come from one of two breweries, depending on where you reside. Kirkland’s craft beers are brewed by Hopfen Und Malz Brewing Co., which is likely to be noticed by those on the West Coast. If you try to go to this brewery’s address, you’ll end yourself at the San Jose brewery Gordon Biersch, which has the same address (via Gordon Biersch). That’s because Hopfen Und Malz Brewing Co. owns Gordon Biersch.
Kirkland beer purchased on the East Coast is in a similar situation. The beer was brewed by Bricks and Barley Brewing Company in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, according to the label. This may all appear to be very mysterious and perplexing, but Costco is far from alone in this. Kirkland Signature Light Beer, a longtime mainstay of low-budget get-togethers, is no longer available at Costco. The Takeout reported that the wholesale retailer had pulled the beverage, which has long been lambasted by critics for smelling and tasting like “urine.”
