Most homebrewers tend to make more big beers (1.050+ OG) than session beers. The reason is obvious, if you are going to go through the trouble of homebrewing it makes sense to make the beers that cost the most to buy in the store.
I love my homebrews but lately I've been kinda wishing for a lighter, less alcoholic "session" brew. Perhaps it's the warmer weather? I do tend to drink more beer when it's hot because I'm thirsty and drinking a lot of 7.1%abv IPA is really not fun for me. I enjoy a nice buzz once and awhile but I hate being drunk and dread the hangover that always follows a night of over-drinking.
I'm excited for my next brew which is a 1.042 OG cream ale that should be around 4.4% abv.
Anyone else in the same boat? Feel like putting "big beer" on the shelf and drinking thin, yellow, low ABV homebrew once in awhile?
