I feel that a direct answer may verge on bad manners in a source's own thread. By "here" I didn't refer to a source that brews domestically, or that I have reason to believe even does their own brewing and can speak authoritatively on the product. Nor does it refer to one that has sworn not to include EO or guaiacol in any product, or who has posted such extensive testing of their own products.
So to my point, there are a lot of important qualitative differences, your hearty engagement being one of them. I'd be disappointed if you sacrificed on any of those things to drop your prices. Shit's cheap enough, yo.
