IPAs on the shelf here are routinely 7%. Certainly not all, but it's there for those who want it. Tripels and scotch ales at 8 or 9%. I've seen 10%, but it wasn't lager - suspect that isn't possible. In the Pacific NW, we apparently decided, it wasn't the water, after all.

Snake Dog is my go-to 7% but I want something that drinks like a session IPA and hits like full strength!!

I am not a fan of IPAs, frankly. My favourite beers are simple - pilsners, lagers, dunkels. Beers that follow the Reinheitsgebot are even better, IMO.

Hopped up lagers and Pilsners are great, I like the Fresh Cut from Peak.

But it doesn’t even top 5%

Lagunitas Pils is 6%. Maybe west coast only, but it's distributed outside California for sure. Had some this evening, not bad for a Pilsener, but I'm not a good judge of that kind of thing.

What this country needs is a good 7% ABV beer!!

Available for many years now: Boulevard Tank 7. Actually, a little higher @ 8.3 ABV, but with moderate hoppiness and a "93" rating from Beer Advocate. I enjoy it on occasion myself.

The belly is obviously part of the uniform. Looks like some of them forgot that part, the way some of my students used to forget to bring the correct color socks to marching contest.

That would be like chargeing sick people more for health insurance!!

Charging sick people more for health insurance? That is an idea not entirely without merit if the illness is self-inflicted from obesity, substance abuse, including too much alcohol, drugs, tobacco, and an otherwise unhealthy life style. And, of course, the manufacturers of deadly addictive products should also be billed for the high cost of care. Yeah, yeah, I know I am not being understanding and compassionate. BTW, is this getting political?

If you're not sick, you just haven't been examined thoroughly enough.

Accuse first, gather corroboration and facts later...
