    I'm really happy about the Saison renaissance we're living in right now, but I want to be able to drink one of my favorite styles without having to crack open a 750 every time I want to drink it. I know there are also some small-bottled Saisons that are sold individually, but those tend to be just as cost-prohibitive to drink on the regular as the good, big-bottled Saisons.

    Can anyone think of any Saisons sold in small bottles (11 to 12oz or cans) by the 4-pk or 6-pk that are worth drinking. The only Saison i can even think of that is sold on a non-bomber basis is Ommegang Hennepin (12oz bottles sold in 4-pks).

    Bonus pts. if you can identify ones sold in the NJ/ Philly area

    Heavy Seas has one called Red Sky At Night, but that's a Summer seasonal.

    Victory's Swing, but that's a Spring seasonal.

    I haven't seen Sofie or Saison DuPont in small bottles in any of the liquor stores around me, but I will keep an eye open.

    Colette seems really promising when factoring for size and price.

    Le Merle used to come in smaller format but not sure if it still does.

    Green Flash Saison Diego is pretty widely available, I think. It's good but not great.

    Weyerbacher Seventeen was really good, hopefully they'll unretire it someday.

    Hennepin is offered in 4 packs as well, as well as all the other great suggestions.

    Never seen a Saison in a Bomber (22 oz), just in 750 ml, 330ml, and 12 oz size. Since you are in Jersey, heck the Total Wine in Cherry Hill. They may have the 4 pack of Saison Dupont (in brown bottles), but prepare for sticker shock. The total Wine in Claymont DE sometimes has them but the last time I saw one the price was about $22 for the 4 bottles.

    Edit: Just looked online and the Cherry Hill Total Wine lists the 4 pack of 11 oz bottles as being in stock and costing $21.99.
