Longest time to drink a beer

I drink late at night, Im just finishing Rock Art Brewery's RIS BA after three days. 4oz here, 4oz there, 4oz now. It was excellent!

 

I can't say it's ever taken me more than 30 minutes to finish a beer. Honestly I'd be surprised if my longest were over 20, maybe even 15. That includes 22oz. bottles, like Parabola, Sucaba, just about anything. Normally down the hatch within 5-10. I suppose having any good beer in front of me is just to tempting to let it linger.

 

Will fly in should you decide to repeat....

That aside....around 7 hours on a bomber of BCBS.

About an hour on the first 3/4's of it, then about 15 min. on my last 1/4 of the bottle when I woke up from my Goose Island induced coma some 6 hrs later. Granted, was a long day and I was a beer rookie at the time. I still remember being happy as hell that I didn't polish the whole bottle off before kicking in the zzzzz's.

 

Normally, anything under, say, 8% abv, the length of time it takes me to walk away from the refrigerator, turn around, and walk back again. Does that mean I'm doing it wrong?

I did have a Jack's Abby Bride Maker barleywine that took the best part of a half-hour but it was so sweet I had to keep leaving it to go brush my teeth.

 

When I was a noob, my first KBS, took me about an hour. Every sip was delicious.

 

Think "baseballbaseballbaseball"

 

I had a 3 year old bomber of Cortland Brewing Co. Bourbon Barrel Aged Flight Level 410 Barleywine that took me about 2 hours to polish off. It was a bit past it's prime and was on the heavier sherry side of things for an ages Barleywine. For some reason, Saison/Farmhouse Ales go down like water no matter what the ABV. 4-9%, doesn't matter, I just love them.

 

Chocolate Rain took me a good 2 hours I'd say. I had a really nice buzz, needless to say.

ETA: this was 2012. 19.5% if I remember.

Dope

 

A snifter of barrel aged vanilla Dark Lord at DLD a few years back, before they closed the pub for the event. It was a nasty rainy day, much like last year, and there were open seats inside (yup - no crap). Probably took me an hour to sip that snifter, because there was so much going on.

I kept repeating Babe Ruth....Lou Gehrig....Ernie Banks....

 

Probably took me 1.5 hours to work through a Boulevard BBQ.

The beer was hot and boozy...hour and a half later, so was I. It was one of the few times I regretted not calling a friend to come over and help.

 

I drank a Black Tuesday solo over the course of 4 hours or so once.

 

30 min to an hour for 12 oz BCBS. Probably an hour or a little more for a 22 oz. OG BC Vanilla in 2010.

One of these years when I buy a lot, I'm going to chug a BCBS just to say I did it.

 

It was a mixture of Hops, Whiskey and Syrup that didn't set well with me. I am a fan of Barrel Aged Barleywines but not hoppy BA Barleywines. I Crushed a BA Narwhal like no one's business though.

 

I hear ya.

 

I thought about starting a shortest time to drink a beer thread the other day. It only takes me an hour to drink 3 at my normal pace.

 

I don't even think bomber last me more than 40 minutes..

 

For me, it is all dependent on strength and style, but my estimates are as follows:
750ml (~25oz) ~3-4 hours (especially a Barrel-Aged offering)
22oz bottle ~2-3 hours (beer being =>10% ABV)
12oz bottle, somwhere b/w 45 min and 2 hours

That said, I prefer drinking 2-3 'big' beers of varying styles and taking my time rather than drinking 3,4,5 of the same beers in a 'session' that are lower ABV.
