Presumably a 16oz pint, as opposed to the 20oz Imperial pint.

How about belgian doppel & tripel ales?

they are considerably alchoholic and considerably tasty.

They are? They vary quite widely in strength from around 3% for a mild,
and near 7% for 'strong ale'. There are one or two outliers at about 9%.
Beers in the US range from around 3.2% to around 5.5% for the mass
produced stuff, and generally around 5%-7% for some of the smaller
breweries outputs. Presumably, there are a couple of 9% outliers too.

welcome to the froth!

there are actually quite a number of 9% beers in the US. in fact,
there are so many that some of the poorer, mainstream ones can be had
at any 7-11 type corner store.

several months ago, steve leyland posted an url for a beer festival at
his local pub. he was quite proud of this. so i went to the url and
noticed something peculiar of the 20 or so beers: only ONE had more
than a 5.5% alcohol rating, and the vast majority had less than 4.5%.
this of course flies in the face of the standard british rant that
their beers are stronger than those in the USA. and the number of
international awards granted to american beers nowadays certainly puts
a damper on the british rant that their beers all taste better than
ours. so, basically, my thing is that im telling the brits what say
"ours is stronger and better" that they are utterly and completely
full of ****. i mean, my god, cant you european ****ers find
SOMETHING better than samual adams LIGHT to win in the tourneys?
BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAHAHAHAAA

In any case, enjoying a beer is seldom about drinking the strongest beer
you can find.

personally, i make mead, and its not much of a contest about which is
stronger. though the mead needs about 4 or more months to age
properly, and i can have a batch of 8 or 9% ale ready to go and mighty
tasty in about 3 weeks.

Absurd nonsense.

Only to someone clueless about beer and alcohol content. English beers
are often around 4.0% alcohol by volume, which is equivalent to 3.2%
alcohol by weight. Many English beers have even less alcohol content;
it's not uncommon to see ales at 3.8% abv, and mild ales go even lower.
Mass-produced lagers brewed in England aren't terribly high in alcohol,
with the exception of junk like "Kestrel Super Strength" and "Carlsberg
Special Export" - high-alcohol high-adjunct liquid junk for people who
might as well be drinking cheap wine or mixed drinks by the bucket.

Typical American mass-produced beers range from 4.0% abv to 5.0% abv,
and there are numerous American-made beers considerably stronger than
this. The fabled "three two" beer sold in some parts of the USA is
3.2% alcohol by WEIGHT - the same as 4.0% alcohol by volume.

Get your facts straight before your tedious pronouncement of "absurd
nonsense."

And plenty go higher.


Mass-produced lagers brewed in England aren't terribly high in alcohol,

5 - 5.2% for popular lagers like Stella and Holsten (both brewed here).

I suggest you read this. These London brewed beers are available in the
USA.

6.3% abv
5.9% abv
4.7% abv
5.4% abv

argue your point, then, instead of following the standard brit way of
digging a hole in the sand and sticking your head in it, all the while
crying "im invisible! no one can see me!".

It is official. We have reached complete degeneration of this thread.
tho' it really didn't have much to offer in the first place.
