Though I was somewhat surprised at the low ABV (4.8%) for this high quality beer.

I was visiting relatives in Central Illinois this past weekend and stopped at Friar Tuck's in Champaign, IL to peruse their great selection of beers.
I landed several bottles of Port Brewing's offerings (is this the same as Pizza Port in San Diego?), including their (what else?) "Old Viscosity," (the label says "not your Dad's 30 weight oil"), Panzer Pils (the label is a picture of a German Panzer on one of San Diego's beaches), and "Wipe-out IPA." All great brews.
Two thumbs up to Ballast Point's Sea Monster Imperial Stout, too!

Page number 5 of this thread rocks! Good choices, all of them. Shoutout to MNGopher, I'm a member of Surly Nation too!
Drinking on some Rush River Bubblejack tonight. Just a solid easy drinking session IPA.
Got pretty drunk last night, was suffering from "Fitzgerald's Fugue" today. (Named after F. Scott Fitzgerald, writer and notorious boozer, who coincidentally lived in my neighborhood most of his life, it's the light fog you walk around in all day after a night of hard drinking) Best way to get back in the saddle is a little hair of the dog.
Anyone concerned, no worries. I only drink on non-work nights, first time in forever I've had more than 1 day off in a row, and I'm fully enjoying it! Cheers, slainte, salut!

That's not a low ABV. Most IPA's are traditonally 3-5% ABV.
For comparison Greene King IPA is 4% ABV. Budweiser is 5% ABV and Miller Light 4.3% ABV.

I would consider the 4.7% low for a non-light beer. Most IPAs I have seen are over 6% ABV. The Rogue Dead Guy Ale I have is 6.5%.

10 beers deep into a case of Lagershark as I type this. Good stuff. Appropriate beer for the nice weather we are having in GA.
As Homer Simpson Always says "MMM Beer" I had Mephistopheles' stout, and thought it was a little "hoppy" for my taste, All you need is one 12oz bottle as it's listed as 16.83%abv. I had honeyweiss, and found it was waaaay to sweet, and dry. I like Bass, http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/252/731/ and one of my favorites Weihenstaphaner.
Not a fan of porters, but love Pale Ales so I also love Sierra Nevada (American) Pale Ale and their special IPA...
Drinkin' Sierra Nevada "Glissade" golden bock. It's delicious!
Had a few Coor's Light Friday night. Not great, but decent to water down the cheap chinese food. At $3 a bottle, I ain't gonna complain.

Doin' that now. Sierra Nevada ales are famous for that pungent grapefruit flavor across the board, but far more noticeable in Torpedo Extra IPA...

SN loves to put a heavy dose of Cascade hops in their beers, that's part of that grapefruit flavor.
Three Floyds Gumballhead on tap - relatively decent local wheat beer.
