'Death By Cherries' is the most interesting in terms of taste, but it's ludicrously expensive at £3.00 for a 440ml can. It's not very strong either at 4.5% alcohol.
As many premium craft beers are.. expensive. Expensive ingredients, small batch, limited supply/high demand, small batch run of labels/cans/packaging etc etc everything produced in small quantities with more costly ingredients is priced higher - especially if it's desirable and people are willing to pay a premium for it.
But some brewers and distillers know they can't command a high enough price to stay in business at all. Read an article about pubs and related businesses on the North Shore (city of North Vancouver) going out of business due to increased rent costs/not being able to negotiate a new lease. Among them was a brewer/distiller. Crazy when you can't sell beer and spirits for a high enough price to even cover rent and stay in business.

Ended up having 8 cans again last night. Just woken up at 2am. 
My local McDonalds 5 mins walk away opens at 5am so if I'm still up might go in for a sausage & egg muffin and a coffee.

Had 1 corona and 1 glass of wine this eve. Maybe should have just had water. Ah well, could be worse I suppose. Maybe I’ll drop down to max 1 or have some total water days this week. Just too many other things I wanna accomplish that requires a more sober head & body.

Tackling
You make it sound like hard work

Well, a spot of hard work never hurt anyone, or so they say.
