I've been making a lot of high grav beers lately. My buddy (who's a little sissy) asked why I'm not making more session beers. I told him because when I get off work, I'd rather have a couple 9% brews before I go to bed, rather than six 5% beers. Plus, If I'm drinking all those calories, I'd rather get more bang for my buck (hence high alcohol %)
My buddy argues that since there is more sugar and malt in high gravity brews, there are definitely more calories. So what's the truth here? Does a 9% brew contain twice as much calories as two 4.5% beers? I know it differs from recipe to recipe, just generally speaking.
I'm not one for calorie counting, just curious over who wins this argument.
