Question

[The Huddler]

Whats the difference between a maltliqour and a good ol beer like an IPA, or other very good, but high alc% beers? For instance, im drinking colt 45 because i dont have money and i wana be very tipsy. Obviously you there is a difference between malt liqours and very good, but high abv% beers..

 

my question is, are those good, expensive beers still called malt liqours technichly they are above 6.0 abv%??

Or only shitty beers which makes shitty posts past 6% called that.

Better quality ingredients would be a start. But back in the day I was known to drink Schlitz Malt Liquor for maximum cost effectiveness, so enjoy!

Usually has to do with crap ingredients added to it to make cheap alcohol.  Things like malt and sugar ferment and raise the %, and don't cost much money.

Will have a "sweeter" mouth on it, as it has more sugar, which means more alcohol.

I wont be able to answer your question because i have a very low Beer IQ.

I will say though.....In the past, when I was trying to get a buzz on a budget, I drank a few of those Four LoKo's.. They will hammer you, but....in the morning you will feel like you got hit with a real hammer.

I know I tried to drink malt liquor back in the day. Trying to be cool while listening to Snoop and Dre. St Ides.

I believe it originated with state laws and their alcohol caps. Anything above the alcohol cap was considered malt liquor. Now it's more akin to "higher" alcohol American lagers. Take a standard American lager and add more adjuncts (sugar, corn, rice) to boost the abv. These ingredients don't make the beer sweeter, but rather drier. There will be a bit of sweetness from the additional alcohol.
