        6.5% isn’t even notable for craft beer. That’s typical for a double or bock. I’ve had quadruples that pushed 14% and the article mentions 16%.

        Of course none of those are very good for active events like pro sports where you probably just want a nice buzz all day.

          Seems like most are at least 7%, my go to is imperial voodoo ranger which is 9%. I also drink 4lokos which are 12-14%.

            Your poor liver and pancreas. Also those don’t even taste good IMO…

            Yep, most barley wines I’ve seen were in the 9-13% range. For comparison, typical grape wine is roughly 12-16%, so similar territory in terms of the quantity it takes to get you sloshed.

            Lower ABV is definitely better for all-day drinking, especially on a hot day when you need hydration too. e.g. Germans like their summer Radlers which are just lager mixed with lemon soda, often only ~3% ABV overall.

              Oh yeah, this was definitely an evening sipping beer. I actually split it with my wife and it was still plenty

            That’s nuts for beer. Untapped says that one started at 14% in 2015 but now the new 2024 batch is 18.7%. Surprisingly good reviews all along. Sometimes too much alcohol harms the taste IMO.
