Then you are missing out on an awful lot of good/great beer.

Edit: Looks like Albert beat me to the punch.

Better late then never, but you did miss my post where it said I do dip into the low gravity beers occasionally but I like the complexity of the high gravity brews. Just a preference, again though you have to factor in TN's HORRIBLE distribution. I drink the best of what is available to me....you can bet on that.

Low gravity beers with complexity include many Belgians & American craft beers brewed with Belgian ale yeast strains (seems to be a growing trend,) as well as your brown ale/porter/stout category beers. Try those if you get them in your area.

Here's a pretty timely article from a DC paper, interviewing the brewers at SN & Allagash about this topic:
