Tag: Beer classification

Brewed since 1873, Heineken has become one of the most recognizable beers globally. But what is Heineken classified as? The iconic Dutch beverage is best described as a European Pale Lager, with some also classifying it as a Pilsner. Its crisp, refreshing taste and light-bodied profile have made it a worldwide phenomenon.

With an ABV of 4.5%, Yuengling Traditional Lager falls squarely within the 'standard' or 'regular' beer category, not a 'strong' one. This places it in line with many mainstream domestic beers, offering a balanced and drinkable experience that has made it a popular choice for decades.

According to the Australian Department of Health, a mid-strength beer typically has an ABV around 3.5%, placing 4% on the higher end of the sessionable range, but not quite full-strength. The simple question, is 4% beer mid-strength, has a surprisingly complex answer that depends heavily on geography and local drinking culture.
