Current Events > Anyone ever have high alcohol content beers?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Anyone ever have high alcohol content beers like Racer 5 or Denoginizer? Those double and triple IPAs? They taste like shit (to me) but they get the job done much quicker.

im on my second denoginizer

Plenty. More than I can count. I've been a bartender for a lot of years and started liking beer around 22 so yeah, I've had my experience. These days I love any doubels or tripels. Anything monastically brewed is usually ridiculously good. They can go up to 13% pretty easily.

---

yes, both of the monk sort and the malt liquor sort. love both kinds

my dad used to drink that stuff. steel reserve beer.
---

I drink one regularly called Delirium Tremens and its brewed with banana and it's like 15% ABV

Its expensive but one of my favorites

---

I get this apple ale that's like 10.5%, which is nice


---

I've had ones up to 11%. They're alright.

---

Biggest Ive ever had is 17% but I got a bunch of 10+ in my fridge

on the contrary I think strong barrel aged stouts are among the best tasting beers out there

---

Hardest I had was Dragon's Milk.

But it's like almost $17 for a 4 pack.


---

Mikes Harder Lemonade lmao.

---

I once had a beer at a bar that was like at least 20%

Really glad I took an Uber there haha

---

Why not just drink whiskey? Tastes better and has a much higher abv than any of that XD

---

Sometimes but, they're fucking expensive as all hell. $12 for a bottle that's around 15% alch. Clown Shoes is tasty as F but, expensive. I dipped out of the craft beer scene because I couldn't afford it anymore.

In college, yeah. Bells had a beer at 16% or so, and it tasted pretty good.

---

That's all I drink really, 6.5% and up beer.

---

Anything that takes bad I throw out, getting drunk is not the main purpose of drinking beer

---

Yeah, they're mostly what I like best.
The most extreme one I've had recently would be Thimble Island Rum Runner's Reserve. It's rum-barrel aged Mutually Assured Destruction(their 11% ABV Russian Imperial Stout) and clocks in at 16% ABV. Strong alcohol undertone that completely cut out the traditional Russian Imperial Stout bitterness. It was vaguely sweet and had a hard liquor-esque smoothness, but was nowhere near as harsh.
I sipped that one good and slow. I'm afraid you won't find that one anywhere beyond the brewery itself.

Some one mentioned Dragon's Milk, and that's really good. Stone Xocoveza is on the "lighter" side for the purposes of this discussion(8.1% ABV), but has a really nice, complex flavor. Unfortunately, that's already disappearing.
In my experience, anything Belgian or monastic is straight fire, and even most of the imitators are really great too.

That's almost exclusively what I was drinking at the end of my drinking "career" and one of the things that I subconsciously used to obscure my drinking problem. Y'all be careful.

My go-to beer is a 9% IPA and it's delicious. I also get a bottle of 10.5% apple cider a couple times a week.

---

I've had some pretty damn good imperials and barleywines, but they're the kind of beers you buy a bottle to split. Finishing a 10%+ beer in one sitting isn't particularly fun.

---

My favorite beer from back home is flying dog double dogs, 11.5%

Hard disagree tbh

---

I do like some trappist beers, Chimay blue cap and St. Bernardus are both good stuff.

---

Yeah, I have a belgian that's 10.4% I think. Sometimes it's nice to get buzzed off a single beer

yeah its nice and feels weird just having a beer and feeling buzzed.

---

Founder's Kentucky Breakfast Stout is friggin good and is 12%. I've had plenty of others but that's the most recent one

---

Every now and then I'll get a 40oz of Olde English which is 8%

Whenever I go to Montreal I always get Labatt Bleue Dry 10.1%.
---

Back in Phoenix we would buy $1 hurricane beers that was like 12%. Dragons Milk is actually good though.

---

I drink Hurricane because it's so cheap per alcohol content by dear lord is it completely disgusting. I have to REALLY want to drink to drink that shit.
