Keeping up with the Joneszes...?

A little survey from my news feed to check in on for my fellow Americans.... although I don't know what kind of credibility we should give it....apparently, beer isn't brewed with hops...and Utah drinks more Bud than Maryand???

[Steve Ruch]

No credibility, and no one cares who drinks what in Utah and Maryland, except people who live in Utah and Maryland.

 

[Ward Chillington]

Yeah...kinda weird how there no correlation between number of breweries and consumption..Utah has 54 but consumes more than Maryland with 176 or N.Y. drinking a little more than either state, 20.something gallons with 666 breweries......ohhhh ...the evil brew! ,


Hmmm.....the devil's in the details!

So Utah has a law no beer over 4% abv allowed on draught but bottles it doesn't matter.
This is where I herd it https://open.spotify.com/episode/2B...i=326IrLSVTcetB7Qz-VQwQQ&utm_source=copy-link

Utah has Mormons, who do not consume alcohol.

The data is per capita, which skews more densely populated states.

And there ain't much else to do in Montana...

I knew that from my sister visiting there. Thank God they still will allow high abv in bottles!

I don't drink anything less than 5%, otherwise, what's the point?

Well my man I don't drink much beer over 5% Lol.
Actually the lady interviewed in that podcast was wishing she could just brew beer at 5% she rekons that's the sweet spot you get a bit more body from the alcohol and such.
She said OG 1.048- 1.052 is her sweet spot for all round beer.
Except for commercial brewing on draft in Utah which is what her job is.

I think I may had heard Jamil Z interview her before....gotta watch the link...did she get some ribbons with her work?

I'm 6'2" and 130kg, so for anything not 5% or over, I'd have to drink about 15 to even feel them. Plus I feel they make you pee more, lol, maybe that's just me

 

[Robert68]

My buddy brews an English Mild that is 3.8%...... I always have two big mugs of that beer when I go to his place. It's a crushable easy to drink beer but it also just tastes great! So I believe there are some beers worthy below the 5% ABV threshold. But hey that's just my opinion.

 

[Josh Hughes]

I’m like @Trialben pretty much everything I make is 5% or below.

 

[HighVoltageMan!]

I'm one of those brewers too. I brew mostly 5% or so and on occasional 6% pale ale. If I brew a big beer over 6%, I end up having it forever because I will drink the 5% over the big beers. I must be getting old.

Yeah, I'm trying to brew a mild recipe of his Cdjk mild. What the heck do you do when your boiling 1/3 of your wort way?

 

[Josh Hughes]

Add water and probably up the ibu

 

[Vallka]

But I like to drink beer all day, I make a beer that’s 3.5%… It’s called Lawnmower Man …. Because you can drink it all day… And still safe to run the Lawnmower, Man

 

[Vallka]

Oh and who drinks Bud anyway

 

[Zambi]

I'm another one of those 4-5 % drinkers.
Although both beers I have in the fermenter are actually high alcohol ones
A saison and a tripel...
Meaning as soon as I got a fermenter free, I got to brew a lighter one

 

[BarbarianBrewer]

Most of my recipes are in the 5-6% ABV range. At 4% the beer just the body and flavor I want. Over 6% and the calories per bottle are hard to ignore. I've only brewed one dark mild so may try brewing one of the dark mild recipes you guys are brewing.

 

[Viejos Cañones]

Confieso ser alcohólico, viendo su contenido ABV. My Porter en promedio tiene 5.5% ABV
