Jimbo 0 #9 January 12, 2003 Quotefor the tatse? for the alcohol content Mostly for the taste, however the beers I like to drink typically have a higher alcohol content than most. For a beer to have a lot of flavor it typically is made with quite a bit of grains, more grains generally means more alcohol content. Most of my favorite beers have a minimum ABV of 6.5%, they go as high as 23%. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

hookitt 1 #13 January 12, 2003 QuoteI've thought about this often.....I can't prove it scientifically, but the threads seem funnier when I'm drinking heavily. DonOH no... it has been proven. All of us guinea pigs have scientifically tested all of this many times. Time and time again, laughter is heard much more frequently after several intoxicating beverages. The trouble with the experiement is the sheer lack of documentation. Perhaps some clerical genius can begin the documentation whilst drinking being funny and posting. That's some serious multi-tasking for most willing scientific quinea pigs.My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry...

jceman 1 #19 January 12, 2003 Two reasons I drink beer: 1) I like the tast of a good beer, and 2) Single malt whiskey (or whisky depending on the Celt of your choice) is too damned expensive to drink in mass quantities. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SpeedRacer 1 #23 January 12, 2003 I like beer mostly for the taste, and the buzz is of secondary importance. Good tasting beer is important to me. (and yeah, I don't usually get really drunk from beer.) I also brew beer, & my homebrewer club meets once a month & we all taste each others' beers. Quote Ask him what he would call a drink made with malted grains, hops, water, and yeast that's over 12%. I'd love to know. well I think most people would still put it under the big umbrella of "beer" but specifically, if it was that high in alcohol it could be a barleywine. (although some doppelbocks or imperial stouts can get pretty high in alcohol too) Speed Racer -------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydiverbob 0 #24 January 12, 2003 I drink it because I brew my own, I get whatever I want, although it does take awhile till you get to drink one. Just brewed a batch of "Potent Pale Ale" nice beer, about 6.8 % alcohol, with nice hop flavor.Who Dares Wins Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
