Austrian standard beers have around 5% vol.
Stiegl (brewed in Salzburg and at least sold in Quebec and Sweden outside Austria according to the deposit notes on the cans) has 4.9% while Ottakringer (also called 16-tin - 16er-Blech, due to the district in Vienna where it's brewed) has 5.3.
Other major brands in Austria (Edelweiss, Gösser, Schwechater, Kaiser, Wieselburger) have around 5%.
Bock beers (specialties among the above brands, usually brewed in spring) have ca. 7%.
How "heavy" are your local beers? :)
Ranges from 5% to 8%.
2-10.
Most being in the 2.4-7.6 range.
I prefer 4-6 personally.
P.S.: I would like to rank "Leffe Brune" with its 6.5% and deceptively light taste as "most devious" beer right behind "Kloster Andechs Doppelbock" wíth its 7.1%.
P.P.S.: All European Langusih meets should take place in Brussels - a horridly boring town with splendid food and drink. :P
My normal beer is 6.4%
2,5-7.5.
Duvel (12 iirc) is too expensive. Makes no sense for what you get
Most lager is 5% though some 4% versions are being introduced.
In terms of bitter and ale they are 3% through to 7% with just a few stronger ones. The range of English-style beers with lowish alcohol content (less than 3.5%) seems to be increasing and many of them are very tasty. I like these beers as they permit the English habit of knocking loads of beer back without any evil consequences :cool:

I thought the evil consequences were the entire point of that particular english habit. :P
Hm..Alamo Golden Ale is apparently 5.3%, looks like the various Shiner (kinda local) types run between 4 and 6.7%. Lone Star and Pearl, which are both cheapass lawnmower beers, aren't brewed here anymore, but they're both probably in the 3-4% range for their regular and light types. Can't think of any more that would be considered "local."
There's probably some stuff brewed in Austin that I'm not thinking of or don't know about (Austin is slightly closer than Shiner. I can actually get up to Valmyland faster than I can get to the south side of SA at some times).
A normal "Pils" in Germany has 4.9%.
Wheat beer has between 5-6%.
it depends on the beer. I have no specific favorite anymore, as there are too many to choose from. But most that I drink I guess range from 5% (avg lager, or ale) to 8 or 9% weirdo craft beers with strange flavors and filtering techniques.
8.1%

Queston for the BrewNerds: do they just pump pure ethanol into beer to make malt liquor?
Quote from: Admiral Yi on December 05, 2009, 01:38:31 PM

I think they put more sugar in the fermentation process.
7.4% abv
The regionally omnipresent Yuengling Lager takes up a good portion of my beer drinking, and it clocks in with 4.4% ABV.
For really cheap drinking by the case, I prefer Piels (4.6%), National Bohemian (4.3%), or Schaefer (4.6%).
If I'm looking for a harrowing descent into drunken vice through cheap beer, I always choose Haffenreffer Private Stock, one of the only decent tasting malt liquors, which contains a relatively modest 6.9%
For going out on the town with nicer "microbrewed" beers, I honestly prefer the lower-alcohol one. Yards' Brawler, which claims to be in the style of English mild ale, has 4.2%, and the O'Reilly's Stout only has 3.6%. The Yards IPA, on the other hand, is also delicious, but packs a 7.0% punch. I guess it's the best value drink if you want to be shitfaced and drinking a classy pint at the same time. :bowler:
Oddly, I think I heard somewhere that Miller High Life has the highest ABV of all the standard cheap beers. Which would explain why it always gives me headaches. The packaging aesthetics are nice (except in the fall when they put out their hunting-themed bullshit), and I love the bottle shape, but it truly tastes like shit.

Hmm, yeah that is about a good 25% stronger than your standard American lager. Certainly enough to be noticeable after a six-pack or three.

Too bad it tastes so horrible; and I drink Steel Reserve.
this is one of the cases where the only two answers are "enough" and "not enough"

I mostly drink Guinness. So 4%. Though, I'm planning to take a Caribbean cruise for the sole purpose of obtaining the Foreign Extra at 7.5%

Stiegl (brewed in Salzburg and at least sold in Quebec and Sweden outside Austria according to the deposit notes on the cans)
My favourite restaurant in Stockholm is "Moldau" which is an Austrian restaurant specializing in their Wienerschnitzels. And they are awesome. I've several times had the pleasure of enjoying a Stiegl while treating myself to one. :)
QuoteBeer Style: Russian Imperial Stout
Hop Variety: Magnum, German Hallertau
Malt Variety: Two-row barley, black, chocolate, carafa 111, cara 8, cara 45, honey malt
OG: 1.100 ABV: 11.03% IBUs: 60
Color: Black
Availability: Seasonally produced from November through February. 22oz. bombers, 1/6BBL and 1/2BBL kegs.
Behold the stunning crimson hues through the inky blackness. Inhale the noble Hallertau hops, spicy and floral. Savor the flavors redolent of English toffee, rich mocha, sweet molasses, candied currants and a hint of anise. We highly recommend cellaring additional bottles, as the Czar will continue to mature and become denser and more complex with age.

Very good. Very strong.

4.4% by volume...
My preferred local premium beers are Yards Brewery's Philadelphia Pale Ale and "Brawler" (basically English mild ale) beers, which are 4.3 and 4.2 respectively. I tend to prefer lower alcohol beers, actually.
But in reality I just drink a lot of Beck's pint cans in my private life. Which is the standard 4.9%
I don't have beer. If I want urine with alcohol content, I can go closer to the source.

I have 5 cases stacked next to the refrigerator, but I probably won't be able to stock up again until December. :(
3-6 percent range.
There's a place in central London which does a delicious beer that gives you no warning of its strength. I was drinking with a couple big guys and we were totally wasted after a few pints. On further investigation it turned out we had ordered the home-brewed high-strength beer. <_<
I don't brew beer so 0% but Canadian beer range in the .5(or is it 05?) to 11% range, well what you can find in regular 7/11 style stores.
For me, around 5%, as I almost always drink Smithwick's.
Anythimnng underr 5% ain;t reall beerr.
What I drink its aleaways between 5 and 8%.
Anythring overt 8% is fake.
You can do bettwer by pouring vodka into yourr beeerr.
Unlike the lightweight pantywaist sephardic cousin of mine most of the beers i like are 8%-16%
PBR is 5% according to this:

That's a whole different experience, much maltier, some prunes and fruitiness compared to the dull omniprescent driness of the Guinnes stouts. I love it - too bad you can't get it here!

Never could get into the flavor of beer. Just yeeeech.
You and Garbon can get girl drink drunk over in the corner then.

When I do drink (rare) I cycle between Mojitos, Lemondrops, Rum&Coke and Grand Marnier :homestar:

Beer is fat person drunk, whiskey has a much higher alcohol/calories ratio.
Franziskaner is 5.0% and Hacker-Pschorr is 5.5% which are two of my favorites. I also go with the occasional Labatt Blue Light which clocks in at 4.0%. I've been on a hefeweizen and schwartzbier kick for a while.
