Your Ideal ABV

I think 5.5% to 6.5% is ideal for me. Weak enough to drink a 6-er but strong enough to feel it.

 

I picked the 4 to 7.5% option, but I have to say there's a big difference between the ends. That being said, I like my beers to be a round the 6 to 7% range. By the way, solid topic.

 

i voted how i drink at a bar. 7.5 and under. at home when i dont have to worry about driving? bring on the next level.

 

2 beers can get you hammered?!

 

Got you now, I love cask bitters and milds from the UK. US beers I love IPA, DIPA, Stout , etc as that is what we do best.

 

Though I did recently have Hill Farmstead Edward on cask which was very nice

 

I am a state away and not available in my area for the most part either unfortunately.

 

It all depends on the situation.My ideal beer experience is drinking in company in a pub and there's not much point in going to the trouble getting there only to have one or two.I like to spend several hours there so I drink the beers specifically intended for this purpose, session ales.I've got to the point that though I can enjoy strong beers I find the more modest ones offer more overall.This is massively increased by careful ingredient selection by the brewers plus cask conditioning which lets a weaker beer fight above its strength.
If I'm restricted to drinking at home I'll perhaps have something a little stronger.I find that over about 8 or 9% ABV the flavours get in each others' way and the taste becomes muddled.Reducing the strength makes beer more accessible without sacrificing too much on the flavour front.

 

5% or under

 

range from 4 to 7.5 is kinda big. I prefer the lower end of this category.

 

For me, I would prefer around 5%.

 

I prefer I chose 4%-7.5%, I usually prefer 6%-7.5% to be exact.

 

I'd go for the least amount possible. I like to enjoy the flavor and don't usually care about the buzz. Doesn't help that I get monster hangovers either. That said, I'm usually drinking something on the higher range, because they tend to be more flavorful. Love DIPAs all day, just can't put em down all day unfortunately.

 

If we are saying that there is a magic wand that can retain all the character and flavor without the alcohol content, I'd vote for 0%-2%. I enjoy beer far more when I'm at a bar than in my home and I hate having to monitor myself to drive or worrying about others or running into an ambitious cop bent on issuing a DWI. I just want to hang out with friends and enjoy amazing beers.

 

4 - 7.5 covers the range of almost all beers I regularly enjoy all night, but 10+ ABV describes the beers I wish I could enjoy all night.
