What is the average ABV of your top ten rated beers?

6.37 at the moment. Still have to rate or review many favourites but a few of them which are also low ABV come to mind.

 

10.05%. Oh, imperial stouts.

 

Never thought about it before... that being said; 11.53%. Damn!

 

9.26%
1. BCBS 13.8
2. Zombie Dust 6.2
3. Focal Banger 7 <tie>
3. Permanent Funeral 10.5 <tie>
5. Nelson Sauvin 10
6. Jai Alai 7.5
7. Bitches Bank 9.5
8. Second Fiddle 8.1
9. Citra 9.5
10. Mexican Cake 10.5

 

10.38

 

10.22% (if you lower the ABV in BrewDog Tokyo* to 16.5% instead of 18.2%)

 

I'm not a reviewer but most of my faves come in around 7-9%

 

Top ten is 7.56. Highest ABV is 13.8, lowest is 3.9. As with everything my tastes run the gamut from extreme to traditional.

 

8.643%

Range of 5.8 (pseudo sue) to 16.73 (rumpkin)

 

10.36%

...makes sense: top 10 include Weihenstephaner's Hefe Weissbier (5.4) and Avery's 5 Monks (19.4), with the rest all between the 8% Pliny and the 13% Parabola...

Bottom-dweller avg. = 6.7%

...as predicted, featuring a few light macros (Bud, Coors...) at 4.2%, but also Mikkeller's Black (黑) at 17.5%...

 

All I know is big %

 

6.35, sounds about right. Generally prefer beers around the 4-6% mark, but like to involve myself from time to time with something heftier.

 

What's the 3.9 beer?

 

Mine varies seasonally with over 9 in the winter especially during flu season when I use the antibacterial qualities of hops as an excuse to load up on DIPAs and in the spring when I use Lent as an excuse to load up on doppel bocks. During the summer it drops to under 7.

 

9.163. I'll take it

 

9% on the dot

 

10.29%

I'm surprised that herrburgess hasn't come here to talk about how good low abv beers are.

 

7.06%

 

10.1% Thank goodness for Live Oak Hefeweizen (5.2%) and New Glarus Belgian Red (4%).

 

9.5% I also realized I rate beer high..

 

I don't think there's anything wrong with smoking reefer before you rate a beer.

 

Funny idea, mine are – 9.55

 

Going from the top of my list of rated beers it's 9.13, but going by favorites it's 10.55

 

9.43%. IIPAs and RISs and Imperial Stouts, oh my. Cannot say my average beer consumed is nearly 10%, though. More like 7 or 8%.

 

PG Steam, on cask in Scotland. Still wish I could drink this everyday. I can't believe it has been 4 years since I was working there.

9.7%

 

8.55. I too thought mine would be higher, but with a hefeweizen on there, it pulls the average down a hair.

 

8.69, about what I expected

 

First of all, great question! My average is a 10.39%, and I must admit. I feel guilty. Damn that BBA goodness!

 

Mine is 10.83%

 

RCH's Ale Mary is my absolute favorite spiced English ale.
I had a 3.9 bitter in my list as well - Victory's Uncle Teddy's (a bit closer to home).

 

7.73%

 

7.54 for the top ten, 6.05 for the bottom 10. I am nothing if not average.

 

So ... is someone going to average all the averages to determine the precise ABV of everyone's top 10 beers? I nominate @Alextricity to take on this task.

 

10.446. Fou and Hoppy Birthday are pulling that average way down.

 

7.23, and it's only that high because of Hopslam.

 

10.50

All my favorite beers are Ten Fidy.

 

6.69%.
6 out of 10 are 5.5% or lower, then 6.2%, 8%, 8.2%, and 14%.
Though I usually don't rate beers, so this isn't necessarily my favourite 10 beers.

 

9.14

I just started rating awhile ago so that it will be interesting to see how that changes over time.
