Longest time to drink a beer

If it's something I really am enjoying, it can take me 2 - 3hrs depending on the size. A good high abv 12oz, can last me about 1.5hrs. I'm sure a bomber can last me well over 3hrs. I take my time, just like I do with good coffee, wine, or scotch. I enjoy the taste, and can enjoy the sip for easily 10 minutes before wanting another.

 

a couple hours to take down Molotov cocktail wayyy sweet

 

I almost never drink a beer in less than 30 minutes. I love drinking Trappist ales while I do dishes, so a Rochefort 10 or Chimay Blue (small bottle)may take an hour or more to finish. Part of that time is letting the beer warm up a little.
The longest I think I ever took was a 2009 Abyss-I probably spent 3 hours choking that gut rot down.

 

I usually try to take an hour for a beer if it is 8% or higher, although I play with those numbers at times, definitely anything 10 and above. I think my longest was 2.5 to 3 hours on a bomber of Lakefront imperial pumpkin while watching hocus pocus last fall.

 

1-1.5 hours for a bomber of a high ABV RIS or Quad

 

I ordered a Bruery Oude Tart with a tasting menu dinner at #9 Park, a very nice French restaurant in Boston. Took at least two hours to finish, but they brought a champagne bucket to the table to keep it cold for me.

 

Right around an hour for a bomber of Victory At Sea and a 750ml of Lolita. I didn't enjoy either. Struggled through both.

I'm a quick drinker when it comes to beer I like. Usually less than 40 minutes.

 

I ordered this on a business trip just last week, and was suddenly told that we had to leave in 15 minutes by one of my colleagues. I took the bomber down in those 15 minutes, but I could've easily stretched it over an hour.

Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA is tops for me though. That thing took me about 2 hours to finish. It was fresh, and it just tasted very boozey.

 

I think some of you are joking. I cant see taking more than an hour to drink any beer. The last Bigfoot Barleywine I drank probably took 30-45 minutes. Sometimes I need to do a better job of pacing myself but damn. Do any of you put a nipple on the bottle, lol?

 

Drove 9 hours from Philly to CBus last night and polished off a 2014 BCBS in about 15 minutes after I unpacked the car and ate a burrito.

 

I drank a 4 pack of ten fidy in 2 hours one time. I got shit faced.
Oh longest? An hour to drink mephistopheles. But I was brewing also.

 

Me and a buddy polished it off in a weekend

Glad I didn't pay for it haha

 

Last one I can remember was a pint of the Serrano infused Green Flash Double Stout... served on nitro... at the Birch. So good, but so dang hot. Took a little over an hour.

 

Curry is my favorite out-of-the-woodwork poster by far.

 

My son and I had a Jack's Abbey Framingham Framinghammer B-A Baltic Porter on Saturday night and it just about killed me. That beer could take days to drink, and hopefully really cold days that it would help warm you on. We had had plenty to drink, but that beer makes port seem like Kool-Aid. More power to those that can exist with such brews. On my own, it might have taken 24 hours to drink. But we had had a great dinner and several 750s of Cascade in advance, so maybe I'll rereview my notions.

 

I'm curious. Why did you keep drinking it?

 

3 of us Opened the 5 bottles in my avatar and savored them for around 2 hours total

Also I have a Utopius that I have been drinking for about a year....SUPER HIGH ABV BW...had an 8 oz glass when I opened it and it about killed me....so every once in a while I pour a shot and sip it....pretty damn tasty still!!!

 

30 min for me and I drink roughly 3 a night so 1:30 of happy hour usually. Average ABV for me is 6%.

 

5 HOURS?!! I apologize if I am the minority here, but that sounds awful long to me. I too drank an entire BA Bigfoot myself, but drink time was more like 1.5-2 hours. But to answer your original question, I would say 2 hours would be my max.

 

Depends where and when I think for me. And I'm not huge on alot of bombers. When I'm relaxed and have nothing to do could take an hour plus a few minutes. After yard work or working up a good sweat OR an unwanted visitor is heading over I can drink a 6% in like ten minutes. Avg for a 12 oz would have to be under 30 minutes. If I'm really analyzing a beer and trying to discover every nuance, longer.



Edit: and I do have a case of ADD so to sit and focus on something for that long is extremely difficult. Im always looking to see what I can do next......
