An IPA at 6.6% sounds decent, imo. Would give it a go. Weird branding, tho.

Breweries love gimmicks

Honestly I’m happy the industry is moving away from super high ABV shit, it used to feel like every other beer in the liquor store was some Triple IPA or Imperial Stout that would get you fucked up after 2-3 beers. Getting fucked up off beer is stupid though cuz it also makes you all bloated, beer is for getting buzzed, get drunk off wine.

Wine is fine, but liquor is quicker.

Liquor makes me feel lethargic, wine drunk I tend to be more energetic and want to do fun stuff

What do you consider high ABV in this context? I find that the ABV is an important part of the flavor itself, and I tend to enjoy the ones that are 6-7%, or 12º if you’re Czech.

Anything over 7 I’d consider higher, over 9 REALLY high, for beer at least.

4.5-6.5 is sorta my ideal zone, enough to get buzzed after a couple but not drunk drunk.

Yeah I like a high ABV when I’m just having one beer and the buzz lasts for a few hours but I don’t drink so often nowadays and don’t even like getting drunk. Not to mention my antidepressants. Shouldn’t really drink at all.

Fuckers who get drunk off beer could beat me in a drinking contest even if I swapped my beer out for water. It’s obscene how much liquid they can physically contain inside their bodies. How? How??
