For example, I had the Moorehouse's Black Cat which was 3.2% ABV. http://thebrewclub.com/2010/04/07/black-cat-moorehouses-brewery/ I think it was the weakest beer I've ever tried, and it was really quite bland. Bob mentioned its considered an Old-Man session ale over there, so maybe that's the niche it fills. Those are some good questions!

I was wondering if you might shed some light on a question I have about British v American beers, since we are reaching the end of British Ale Month! It seems like many British beers are less than 5% ABV. While most American Beer is over 5% ABV. Alcohol does lend to flavor in making a beer bigger and have larger flavors and character, but it has been well documented that many British beers, and a couple of American brews are under that 5% and have great flavor too. So my question is why the difference? Are things so bad in the US that we need more alcohol to feel better about ourselves? Does it get back to brewing tradition? Is it based on palate? What are your thoughts on the difference between America's penchant for higher ABV beers and Britain's embrace of the lower ABV styles? .-= Don´s last blog ..<a href="http://beerandwhiskeybros.com/2010/04/23/drunks-of-the-week-new-posting-theme/" rel="nofollow">Drunks of the Week: New Posting Theme</a> =-.
