Hey everybody,
Been brewing for a couple years and I just found this great forum. Tons of excellent info.
Anyhow, to the point of this post. I was checking out Beer Advocate's Top 100 Beers and was dissapointed to see that over 75 of the beers are 7+% in alcohol with a bunch that are 9-13%. There a few in the 6 range too but there are very few that are 5 or below.
What is this all about? Do most people just immediately go for the super high alcohol brew and ignore everything else?
Some of the best beers I've tasted have been Lambics, Lagers and light Ales that are in the 4-6% range.
It's too bad that the lighter beers get passed up all too often for the big brews.
Light beers do have a lot to offer.
