What are they gonna charge for a 7% IPA?

And will you pay the probable 5 euro per can for that?

And there's the problem:
Why does ABV matter?
I'm buying for taste, not strength.

Nevertheless, for big, hop-forward, American-style IPAs at that strength and package size, the best comparisons on drinkstore.ie are:
[list:3owiqyd5]White Hag Bran & Sceolan - 3.00
Lagunitas Little Sumpin'Sumpin' - 3.40
Odells IPA - 3.99
BrewDog Jackhammer - 4.10
Beavertown Black Betty - 4.50[/list:u:3owiqyd5]

So... I won't pay 5, but I'd pay 4.

You're my favourite poster.

That's how I know you [i:14vx8gki]do[/i:14vx8gki] take strength into account when paying for beer.

You're one of the few people on here who dare to say some Irish beers are rip offs.

I'm not fan of beers above the 7.5% mark and love session beers by the way.

The big takeaway from that is don't use drinkstore.
