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.
Anything above 7ish is what I consider high. Anything above 10 is a gimmick made just to flex.
Fyi I used to work in brewing and you have to do some weird ass shit to get above 10. Either you add sugar or you mix running from multiple brews off to get really high gravity. The later wastes a lot of materials since you’re essentially getting a fraction of the amount of beer you’d usually get from the same amount of barley and hops. So most companies just dump dextrose in the kettle to up the gravity.
When I worked in the industry all the shit that sold well was the high ABV shit. I think there’s people out there who are in denial that their alcoholics by saying “I just drink beer!” but they’re crushing 9% shit, which is probably worse for you than just getting a bottle of vodka.
