You will typically not get any really good beer, quality might be decent but they don't have the upper end quality (and maybe not even the low end), the extremely reduced variety is also observable, as is the presentation style (in boxes, not individually, etc.). For other kind of store that are not selling food, the attribute "discount" often means supposedly cheap, inferior products (and maybe additionally quality stuff at the usual price), might be ok for occasional use, but the Pros buy elsewhere. There are also drugstore discounters (DM etc.), which have in Germany entirely replaced what once were the chemists. Or building_centres which have replaced serious hard ware stores (talking again about Germany here, in Italy there are still ten thousands of hardware stores, you find them at every second corner, but they often sell the same china tools you get at OBI).
