How long do you enjoy a beer?

20-30 mins. on average for 12 ounces depending on ABV.

 

sounds about right for me too. though i've probably left it a litle longer if it was a higher abv, or if i've had a few before and don't want to rush it

 

Long time.

 

A big beer like BCBS, an hour. Snpa, 20 minutes. For big stouts I take it slow because I like seeing how it develops as it warms.

 

Totally depends on the beer. I'll crush a tasty pale ale in a matter of minutes, but I've been nursing this Barrel-Aged Old Ruffian for going on 3 hours now.

 

Thirty minutes minimum. I'm a very slow drinker, regardless of style (except with AALs).

 

Depends.. Something like BCBS maybe an hour or so.. Give me some Torpedo or Moon Man and I probably drink 3 or 4 in that time

 

I have enjoying the Society and Solitude #5 that my buddy surprised me with as an extra to an already awesome trade for about 2 years now. (i think the drinking took 20 minutes)

 

I also agree that it depends on the style/environment. Took me about 2 hours to finish a barleywine earlier (I was also playing a video game, otherwise I would have drank it much quicker if I were drinking with a group or not otherwise occupied with a machine). Otherwise, I can drink anything in about 20 minutes. Not the best case scenario. I'd rather be occupied and sipping.

 

Sloooooowwww...until,I hear the wife's car pull up. Then I slam it and grab a fresh one before she walks through the door!

 

I like to drink my beer thoughtfully, no matter the style.

 

On weekdays, I can spend all night on 2-3 beers. On weekends, sky's the limit.

 

I've had a tendency my entire life to drink insanely fast (I'm talking fruit juice/milk cartons/etc). That said, when drinking alone I tend to imbibe rather slowly.

 

Since you know there is huge variation I am curious why you ask but the other day after having at least one to many beers I woke up after a 8 hour nap and polished off the last 6 ounces of warm The Pupil. It actually wasn't bad

 

BCBS was the longest drink I've had at close to 2 hours, that beer is just too damn big.

 

Half hour or so for most. Stouts and porters I usually take up to an hour.

 

Anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour. Very much dependent upon circumstances. I can knock back an IPA in 10 minutes on a golf course and enjoy it more than if I were to relax with the same IPA for half an hour in front of a football game. Sometimes vice versa.

 

I never thought to time it. I drink to relax. watching a clock would bug me. Still I am going to drink a beer that should stay cold before it gets hot. Imperial stouts and thing of that nature, it depends. I think I nearly slammed a Brooklyn BCS yesterday because it was the first of the day and I was enjoying the heck out some music and posting.
So I have no idea, I sort of hate watching the clock, makes the day drag by....
