I myself have moved downmarket for both beer and bourbon now. Trying to drink less, it's bad for you and expensive

Man, when I was deep in the throes of alcoholism(semi-sober now) during the pandemic that was my go-to beer. I wouldn't say it was good, but New Belgium was the perfect intersection of high alcohol content, a decent price, and not tasting like it was malt trash. Last I checked they were like $(US)20 for a 12 pack near me though so I don't think it's still in that category.

I disagree with it not tasting strong though. A single sip would make my hair stand on end hahaha.
