I'm looking into scotch ale and discovered there are different categories. According to Wikipedia, in Scotland the scotch ale categories used to go like this -
Light - under 3.5% abv
Heavy - between 3.5% and 4.0% abv
Export - between 4.0% and 5.5% abv
Wee heavy - over 6.0% abv
So how are scotch ales categorized in the US today and which style is the most popular in the US?
Also does wee heavy apply to just scotch ale or other beer styles too?
