(Crain's) — Months after restocking alcohol on its shelves following a 15-year dry spell, Walgreen Co. is offering a private-label beer.

Big Flats 1901 carries a suggested retail price of $2.99 for six cans and $11.49 for a 24-pack, according to Beer Business Daily.

The beer is brewed by Genesee Brewing Co. in Rochester, N.Y., owned by Novato, Calif.-based Winery Exchange, a private-label alcohol company that also distributes to Costco, Trader Joe's and Cost Plus World Market.

Walgreen did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Deerfield-based drugstore giant has been moving more heavily into private-label since acquiring the New York-based Duane Reade chain last year. Walgreen now sells a selection of snack foods under the Delish label, which was Duane Reade's successful private-label initiative.

And at the company's annual meeting at Navy Pier this month, Walgreen executives also said they are planning to ramp up private-label personal-care items in the near future.

Late last year, Walgreen opened a new Duane Reade in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood. In order to assuage neighborhood anger that it was taking business away from a nearby independent pharmacy, Walgreen decided to open a beer bar within the Duane Reade. The bar has eight beers on tap that customers can purchase in growlers—refillable glass bottles—along with cases of national brands, plus craft and imported beers.
