re: Why is Abita Beer so expensive?

I just want someone local to make a real, widely available pale lager or pilsner in the traditional style. Not a low cal light beer. Not a canebrake tasting pilsner. Not a dry hopped pilsner. Not a strawberry lager. Not an amber. Just a full-bodied malty traditional barley beer. Preferably in cans.

And GB skater aid is not that. It's thin bodied and overhopped. I don't find Paradise Park to have much body either and it's got some weird huell melon fruity hop.
