    Does anyone know if these are actually different beers, or if they are just the same beer with different names? The beer page for KC says, "Rebranded as Curmudgeon's Better Half." and the Founder's press release says, "Curmudgeon’s Better Half is a re-branding of the beer formerly known as Kaiser’s Curmudgeon, which has only been served at Founders’ taproom and in extremely limited draft distribution," yet they have separate listings and different ABV's listed. Just curious if anyone knows the difference, if there is one.

    Founders says it's the same beer with a different name. What is the question?

    I guess my question is then why are there two separate listings for this beer with different ABV's?

    I guess it's just a mistake/they haven't been combined yet. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something that made them different beers.

    It's the same beer but Kaiser was draft only. The differences are minimal or something compared to let's say Double Trouble on draft vs. the bottle.
