1 quart returnable bottles used to be quite common.
I still have a few cases of 1-quart Olympia and Pabst bottles in service.
Commercial 1/2 gallon growlers disappeared too
that label is long gone , I think its 4-5% normal macro-brew .First of all that is an awesome bottle...
Second: what is the ABV of Pabst?
I'd definitely rather get some of the lost abby stuff in 12-16oz bottles rather than 750ml.
In my experience, people aren't willing to spend 5-7 dollars on a 12 ounce bottle of beer but will have no problem pulling the trigger on a 12-15 dollar bomber of the same stuff.
I left it out of my article, but the prices of the larger bottles make no sense either. A lot of time the 4 pack costs less per ounce than the bomber. Goose Island is a great example. I bought the 4 pack of Sophie for $12.99. The bombers were going for $10.99.
It doesn't make any sense.
