What's Happening
Alani Nu has brought its seasonal Witches Brew Energy Drink to Costco in a new 18-can pack, giving fans a warehouse-sized way to stock up on the popular fall flavor.
The Costco pack contains 18 12-ounce cans of Witches Brew, which features a caramel apple-inspired flavor profile built around sweet caramel and tart apple notes. Unlike a variety pack, all 18 cans feature the same Witches Brew flavor. Costco also confirms that the drink is sugar-free.
The larger format arrives as Witches Brew makes its seasonal return for fall, continuing a tradition that has turned the flavor into one of Alani Nu’s most recognizable limited-time releases.
Costco’s listing identifies the 18-pack as item #1937492. Availability and pricing can vary by warehouse and market, with the retailer also offering same-day ordering in supported areas.
The Costco launch gives Witches Brew another major retail placement while providing existing fans with a larger pack size than the formats typically found at grocery and convenience retailers.
Why It Matters
Witches Brew has developed into a recurring seasonal product for Alani Nu, giving the company a recognizable fall release that consumers can anticipate each year. Moving it into an 18-pack allows the brand to capitalize on that existing demand while creating a format specifically suited to consumers who already know and regularly purchase the flavor.
Costco also provides Alani Nu with exposure beyond traditional energy drink shopping occasions. Warehouse clubs encourage larger purchases and stock-up behavior, making them particularly valuable for established flavors that already have strong consumer recognition rather than products shoppers may be hesitant to purchase in bulk.
Bigger Picture
Seasonal energy drinks are increasingly following the same playbook used by coffee, snack, and food brands, with returning flavors becoming annual events rather than one-time launches. Successful seasonal products can create anticipation, urgency, and repeat purchases without requiring companies to develop entirely new concepts every year.
Warehouse retailers are becoming another important part of that strategy. As energy drinks move deeper into mainstream grocery shopping, larger packs at Costco and similar retailers give beverage brands another way to scale established products while competing for household stock-up purchases instead of relying exclusively on individual cans and smaller cases.
