Alcohol

I remember when I was a member of Beer Drinkers of America. They always talked about how much they raised the beer taxes percentage wise. One year they raised the $5 member fee to $10, a 100% increase in fees. I then quit BDOA. I think they were trying to incourage beer companies to publish % alcohol on the labels. I read the Beer Alcohol Calories post many years ago. it was an independent test. I took those figures seriously when going out to drink, as you have to know your limit. Current listing have different %'s. It seems some companies reporting may be different from actual. I usually drink Bud Light when i'm out drinking, because it had one of the lower contents, 3.5 %. From drinking it and other beers, I still think that 3.5 % is correct. Molsen light is haed to find as it was 2.5 %. I just wish there was another independent test run.

I hate lower content beers. Nothing like a nice belgian or german trappist. My favorite beers have on average 10% abv.

There is no such thing as a German Trappist ale. HTH. HAND. All the world's Trappist ales are currently brewed in Belgium and the Netherlands. There are a small number of monastery beers in Germany, but none of them are brewed by Trappist orders.

So you don't care for lambics, British pale ales and milds, IPAs, classic Pilsners, Belgian witbiers and saisons, Bavarian hefeweizens and bocks, Franconian Kellerbiers and Rauchbiers, Berliner Weisse, Irish stouts, and Czech lagers?

Man. That's rough. I don't consider %alc/vol as a selection in choosing my favorites. YMMobviouslyV.
