Thirsty Thursday Eve - Kirkland Signature Hard Seltzer
Hard Seltzer is the hot thing lately, and Costco finally got in on the game. Say hello to Kirkland Signature Hard Seltzer
Name: Hard Seltzer
Source: Kirkland Signature (Costco)
Style: Seltzer
ABV: 5.0%
Price: $19.99 per 24 pack
Volume: 12 oz
Price per oz: $0.83 per can
Everybody has tried a hard seltzer at this point, and every company that makes alcohol is selling their own version. Truly was the first one that I can recall. Soon after, we started seeing hard seltzer from White Claw. Then, household names like Budweizer and Jose Cuervo started making hard seltzer. It’s everywhere. It only makes sense that Costco would eventually throw their lot in.
At my local warehouse, you can get a 24 pack for $19.99 plus tax. The distribution is 6 cans of each flavor: Mango, Grapefruit, Black Cherry, and Lime. Let me just point out how much I love the even distribution. I hate it when companies do more of one flavor than others. Those flavors seem to be pretty standard for hard seltzers, especially with lime being available everywhere.
How are they? Decent. They’re great for buzz maintenance and casual drinking alike. I don’t love any of them individually, but I’d take the lot without gripe or complaint. White Claw may be marginally better than Kirkland Signature, but KS is way better than Truly. Plus, I think Costco is the cheapest of the bunch (as it should be).
If you like hard seltzer, Kirkland Signature is worth trying. If you don’t, this isn’t anything revolutionary. Don’t expect these to make a believer of you, they’re just a little easier on the wallet.
