  1. In the equivalent of a 12 oz bottle and weighing in at 5% ABV? $15?? Yeah, I’ll be running right out to take advantage of that deal.

  2. In the case of sour beers, I think you have to throw out the ABV factor. Some Cantillons go for $20+ and are moderate in ABV, for example, and ABV doesn’t necessarily translate to higher quality. 12 oz. for $15? I can see your gripe there. I chase value myself but only because I’m flat broke.
