Hm, so Guinness may taste heavier but actually has less alcohol than USA average? That is something I had not known.

In the UK: “taxed according to its strength.” Ha! And yet we still get saddled with the ‘weak beer’ stereotype. What government does to beer: makes it weak and expensive.

There is such a huge variety made here and in the UK, and in Europe, that it’s pretty hard to say where the stronger and the lighter beer lives. Just in Europe they have the light Pilsners and whatnot, and then they have the Trapist ales, and the barleywines can run in excess of 9%. The UK’s IPAs are fairly high in alcohol traditionally, which is part of the plan for long term storage on sailing ships.

And yeah– for sure; the beer we get from Europe is not the same beer they serve in Europe. Not unless they go to extreme lengths to deliver it quickly and take great care in the process of getting it here and distributing it. I did have a Guiness the other day that was in pretty fine shape though.

Try making you own beer– at the worst you’ll have drinkable beer, but you will have some really great beer at least once in a while.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
