I may give it a go but not an ale guy. Sometimes just going to one of the stores with a decent selection makes me ponder. There are so many choices now. I remember when if you saw Coors, you took it as it was illegal east of Mississippi.

Probably only 1 bottle left of Hennigan's. It's still in Jerry's cabinet.

I'm no expert, and I know we have peeps on here that know better than I that could tell you better than me, but it's got more malt flavor and slightly more alcohol than most beers but it's negligible. The high gravs that I've had have the overtones of a lager with some of the richness of a beer like Guinness. They're sort of in between, I suppose. But again, others know their beers better than me (this is just my opinion).

High gravity just refers to the amount of alcohol in it. Up until the craft brew explosion, most beers were in the 4-5% range like the mass produced beers. In TN, grocery stores couldn’t sell anything higher than that.

But now you have a wide selection of beers that are 6% +, and I have had a number that are 10%+. The really high ones are normally double IPA’s, stouts, and especially barrel aged stouts that are aged for a period of time.

It's all those carbohydrates that spike your blood sugar and lead to an insulin response. Same reason why shooters get people so drunk.

Makes sense. I'm one of those ppl that teeters on the edge of low blood sugar as just a normal level for me so it makes sense that the alcohol combined with a carb spike would wreak havoc on me.

High gravity just means alcohol content. Typically like 8-13% or so. Guinness is a really dark beer. Give craft a try. It’ll take you a while to figure out what you like
