I had this argument with my girlfriend the other day, no one wants to drink a beer under 4%. I disagreed with her. I stated that almost half of the entire beer market was based on a beer that was 3%. She gave me the fizzy yellow water speech from stone (I know shes a keeper) and made a good point about high abv craft beer having excellent flavor. Then continued on about how we drink to get drunk and a 3% won't do the trick. I argued that some people would like to drink more without getting so drunk. I also used "session beers" and how popular they have become in my argument
well this all started because, I wanted to make lighter beers because I wanted to gage my ability to make all kinds of beer. I'm good at making beers at 5%-7% abv but I wanted to try making beer that was 3% abv. I've read that these beers are more delicate and can be ruined by slight mistakes. So I made a few: an over-hopped hefenweizen 3.8% and a scottish ale 60 shilling 3.15%. The hefe was just ok and the other two are about 2 weeks from finishing.
My ideal abv is around a 6%
What is yours?
