Season’s Choice Beer Flavored Onion Rings

EDITOR’S NOTE: We bought and reviewed these in 2025. Aldi is most recently advertising identical onion rings the week of May 6th, 2026, for $3.39 for 16 ounces. 

I love onion rings. When I’m dining somewhere that serves French fries with a meal, if there is an option to substitute or upgrade to onion rings, I always choose the onion rings. Those tender, sweet onions surrounded by crispy, salty batter are just too good to resist.

Aldi sometimes sells different types of onion rings in the freezer aisle. While they’re not usually as good as what you’d get from a restaurant, they’re typically decent.

The most recent onion rings I found at Aldi are beer flavored. I picked up a bag, figuring we’d try them at home.

Season’s Choice Beer Flavored Onion Rings are an Aldi Find. That means they’re only in stores for a short time. Each store should get one shipment, and after that sells out, they’re gone. You can’t order these online if they’re sold out at your local Aldi.

I paid $3.89 for a 16-ounce package at my local Aldi in January of 2025. That’s around 24 cents per ounce. With five servings per bag, it’s about 78 cents per serving. We buy Aldi products with our own money for review.

(As of 2026, these are $3.39 for 16 ounces, or about 21 cents per ounce.)

The Season’s Choice brand is an Aldi private label. There is no company called Season’s Choice. It’s the name Aldi puts on its frozen vegetables — or frozen battered onions, in this case — which it sources from various suppliers.

These are a product of Canada.

Nutrition Facts and Ingredients:

If you’re looking out for allergens, they contain wheat and soy. They were processed in the same facility as fish, egg, milk, and sulfites.

These have a moderately long ingredients list. I’m guessing the beer flavor comes from the barley malt extract powder listed in the ingredients, and possibly also from artificial flavor.

One bag has about five 3-ounce servings. One serving has 170 calories, 8 grams of total fat (10% DV), 1.5 grams of saturated fat (6% DV), 490 mg of sodium (20% DV), 24 grams of total carbohydrates (9% DV), 1 gram of dietary fiber (5% DV), 5 grams of total sugars, 4 grams of added sugars (8% DV), and 2 grams of protein.

Cooking Directions:

You cook these from frozen. You can bake them in a conventional oven, deep fry them, or air fry them.

To bake, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Spread frozen onion rings in a single layer on a nonstick baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes. Flip and bake for another 12 minutes or until golden brown.

To deep fry, preheat oil to 350 degrees. Place frozen onion rings in the fryer basket. Do not fill the basket more than half full. Carefully lower the basket into the hot oil. Fry for 3-3.5 minutes or until light golden. Shake the basket frequently for best results.

To air fry, preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees. Spread the onion rings in the basket. Do not overcrowd. Cook for 8-10 minutes until light golden. Shake the basket once or twice during cook time.

How They Taste:

I chose to air fry these. It took a little longer than the directions indicate to get them golden and crispy, but they probably would have cooked faster if I had put slightly fewer onion rings in the air fryer. Still, they came out good. They taste as close to restaurant quality as any grocery store onion rings I’ve had.

The Verdict:

Season’s Choice Beer Flavored Onion Rings are pretty tasty if you want onion rings but don’t want to spend on a restaurant meal. We’d buy these again.
