Is this a good collection? For sale at Costco and never tried any of these.

I don’t recognize a single brand. If they are very cheap, try them; they’re for sure better than some Bud Light or any other American “beer”

A big no for me. Seems like the same scheme the hot sauce “collections” from China come from.
i don’t recognize a single one of these, lol.
a quick google research says that at least irlbacher and eibauer are real german breweries. both very small and regional. haven’t looked into any of the others, but i’d take it as a good sign for the rest of the collection.
Haven’t seen them. You should at least take a look, if they are brewed according to the Reinheitsgebot from 1516.
How much is it? I am not going to guess how much truly imported beer from Germany would cost in the US, but I think it is safe to say that if a Costco sale is reasonably cheap or comparable to normal beer prices, then chances are that you are not actually looking at a true German imported product.
Where I live a bottle of Spanish beer costs about 3,50 euro compared to the local 1,20 euro beer. And that is only import costs from one side of Europe to the other. Not from one continent to another.

they forgot one very traditional german beer: [https://www.erzquell.de/zunft-koelsch/zunft-koelsch-sortiment/black-koelsch-cola/#](https://www.erzquell.de/zunft-koelsch/zunft-koelsch-sortiment/black-koelsch-cola/#)
No, none of these are traditional and found in most supermarkets.
