Costco to pass on private brand beer?

Beer bloggers have proved adept at breaking news of upcoming beer releases by tracking label approvals. Only thing is, that not all labels turn into beers. We’re still waiting for the Faust Dubbel from Anheuser-Busch.

And perhaps we may also be waiting a while before we see the Kirkland beers from Costco.

We stayed in and RV park not far from Costco headquarters when we were in the Seattle area (a short beer report will be coming), and I heard an interesting but unsubstantiated rumor that the private label beer project currently is on hold. Not sure what that means, now it’s the weekend and we’re headed into Canada.

Sorry about the lousy job of reporting actual facts, but perhaps somebody else in the beer blogosphere will pick up on this and track down more information.
