    Is it bad that all the beers I'm choosing are 8% or more?

    Did you guys notice that any of these beers are worse than last year?

    Lets come up with another way to watch Heady win a "best ..... beer" thread.

    I didn't even realize they made beers less than 8% ABV.

    None of the above. Very naive and limited choices.

    I do not think any of these beers make my top 10 or even top 20 beers at 8% or above.

    I think it is safe to say that beer in general is getting worse every year. Downward slope. All of it worse than the year before.

    My personal favorite over 8% would be Plead the 5th.

    Being as the majority of those beers aren't distributed to me. This poll is bias, and I don't like it :slight_frown:

    I'm so confused...I was expecting to see a bunch of 8% beers not a bunch of 8+ beers. And why listen to what everyone else has to say about a limited set of beers when the reviews for said limited set are easy to find on this site - go find something you like in a style you like and enjoy the ride finding them!
