- maxerickson 4y agoIf you grind your teeth/clench your jaw during sleep, consider trying a bite guard. No more headaches for me. (I got one when I had a couple nasty headaches during a period I didn't drink for a few months. I knew from my dentist I ground my teeth but that was what pushed me over the edge.)
- jhbadger 4y agoIt's popular for some reason for IPAs to have high alcohol (like 7% or higher), but there's been a recent trend in IPAs (and other styles) for "session" beers that have more normal ~5% levels. I know it's just a few percent, but I find two or three pints of a lower alcohol beer leave me feeling much better than the higher ones.
- boredtofears 4y agoThis is where I'm at. Pale Ales or Session IPA's both have lower calorie and lower ABV. Toppling Goliath's Psuedo Sue is fantastic. It's not cheap though.
- TrueSlacker0 4y agoThe higher abv is because it allows the beer to obtain more hop flavor (not just bitterness) along with malt flavor. A classic American session IPA[1] will always (of course with few exceptions) be more bitter than a standard IPA and a double will be less bitter than a standard. However as you go up in abv you are able to get a lot more hop flavor in to bitterness. Only so much hop oil can isomerize without enough abv backbone. [1] not hazys, bruts, east coast, cold or and other sub style. Just talking classic American IPA as made popular in the early 2000'
