I don't mind this. I like beer, but some styles I like can be 7% or more which is just too strong. I want to be able to enjoy the taste, not get buzzed after one beer with dinner.
I've tried the non alcoholic beers but they all have a similar off taste to them.
What's more worrying I wonder, preferring one strong beer because it's fewer overall calories per session, or wanting multiple low strength ones so you can do more drinking? I can't quite tell honestly
For me, the one strong beer is too much anymore.
I used to like the higher ABV beers, imperial stouts, etc more, but even just one of those is just.. too much. Especially getting a full pint.
For that reason I don’t mind that the high ABV options are getting toned down. This might be a case of economics and preferences moving parallel to each other.
