Start Your Night Drinking Beer With Lighter Beers
You might think it’s best to start your beer hunt with a hopped, flavored beer with a higher alcohol content, but you’re doing your taste buds a disservice for the rest of the night.
Beer can contain about 3% alcohol by volume (ABV), but can skyrocket to nearly 20% depending on the variety. If you’re planning on sipping a few cold ones during the night, Will Stevens, co-founder of BeerMenus.com , suggests starting with the lighter side:
… plan ahead and start with your lightest beer. Beers with a high alcohol content or very hoppy beers will overwhelm your palate and make your next beer difficult. I often start with a lager or something equally light and gradually finish with an IPA, and in the winter, a Barleywine or Imperial Stout.
You pay good money for these delicious drinks so you can get the most out of them. Choose stronger ingredients and enjoy the scent.
