Questions about Oklahoma Beer

[yankee]

I'm sure it's been beaten to death 100 times, but as a native Texan, is there a link that explains the difference between Okie beer and regular beer? I understand that Okie beer is 3.2% alcohol by weight which is 4% alcohol by volume. So there really isn't a huge difference in alcohol amounts between Okie beer and TX beer. My Texas friend says that Keystone and Natty are even lighter in Oklahoma than the light beers. Is that true? Help me out. K coooooooool. Thanks!

budweiser in texas and most states is 5.0% by volume. beer in oklahoma can be served cold at a maximum of 3.2% by volume. the volume/weight thing is just how it is measured...by weight it's about 4.0%, with texas beer being about 6.0% by weight. there is a noticeable difference. people can say, well it's only 1.8% more, but when you are dealing with a number as small as 5.0%, 1.8% is a big difference.

[reflector]

If you want to purchase beer more than 3.2%, you have to buy it at liquor stores I believe.

And buy it warm....just wrong.

And of course Texas makes up for it by having dry counties.

Being from Oklahoma but going to school in Texas, I've had plenty of both beers.

Oklahoma beer tastes like camel ****.

The irony of the situation is that the liquor store lobby and certain Christian groups "team up" to lobby against allowing normal beer to be sold in grocery stores/convenience stores.

I really don't like activist Christians.

the difference between oklahoma beer and texas beer is marginal... most beers are low in alcohol content anyway. i mean guinness is only about 4.5%.

just because in texas you cant sell beer in excess of 6% by volume (in a convienience store), doesnt mean its actually going to have a 6% alcohol content.

the whole "6 point beer" thing is one of the god-damned dumbest things people in oklahoma say.

They don't want you killing the sixer on the way home. Because, you know, that's a totally normal thing to do. But you can go to a bar and get hammered and drive home. Nothing wrong with that.

Put the first 3 in the freezer.

I've never had a problem with so-called Oklahoma beer. I go to the liquor in the front store.

i know you get all personal about okie beer...not sure why when you got OVJ.

this is what my friend said:

"You'd have to drink Bud Ice or Keystone Ice to get the 6%.

Coors Light and Bud Light have roughly a 4.25-4.3% on average.

Keystone and Natty are at a 3%"

i'd love to prove him wrong because he's an idiot.

i'm talking imports or things like Fat Tire, that i can't even get.

sure, an ice bath gets them cold, but i have to jump through hoops because some legislators are in someone's pocket, not because of some public safety thing

i also can't buy them on Sunday or after 9PM. it's lame. it's not like i'm some alcoholic, i just like the occasional beer, and i'd rather them not be crappy domestics a lot of the time, and i basically have to plan ahead
