Bud light and other light beers tend to land in 3.2% territory, I think. And some brands specifically make 3.2 beer catering to the PA market (it may not even be available in your area if your state doesn't have weird restrictions around 3.2%, like PA or UT).
- stinky613 12y agoLight beers are usually higher than 4%. Bud Light is 4.2% [1] http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/29/1320/ http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/29/1320/ EDIT: Ah, here's the confusion. I'm pretty sure the 3.2% is ABW instead of the usual ABV. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-alcohol_beer#Categories http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-alcohol_beer#Categories
- awda 12y agoYou're right, I looked up Bud Light and it was 4.2 and I was confused :/. Not sure on if 3.2 and ABW applies in all 3.2 states. My only knowledge of this comes from my ~75 year old uncle, who told me that you used to be able to buy 3.2 beer when you were 18 (depending on the state; he was probably in CA or WA). I don't drink anymore, but when I did, it was all craft / microbrews, which are typically 5-7% ABV ;). The lowest I've seen is 4.7% (Founder's All Day IPA, a session IPA). And some of the DIPAs and Imperial stouts and wild ales / Belgian trippels/quads go to 8-12% ABV.
