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. -- dave hillstrom mhm15x4 zrbj This space for rent. |

dave hillstrom wrote: bottom line; english beers are LESS alcoholic per unit volume than american beers. period. 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.
