Lagers


Answers: Ales

Pilsners

Malt Liquor

Lagers

I would say Lagers, but you can make a high ABV (Alcohol By Volume) from an Ale, too.
The style (What you have listed) is determined by yeast type. A warmer temp top fermenting yeast, which is an Ale, or a cooler temp bottom fermenting yeast, which is a Lager.
Pilsners and Malt Liquors are Lagers.

Sam Adams Triple Bock 17.5%
Dogfish Head World Wide Stout is 18.1%
Stone Brewing Old Guardian 11%

Lagers

Malt Liquor
or
Lagers

depends on the brand

It all varies, those are broad classifications of many different styles. I would say a barleywine ale would have the highest at around 12-16% alcohol/volume. But there are many ale styles(farmhouse, blondes, etc.) which are generally weak. The same goes for other styles.

Well your classifications are slightly off base.

Ales encompass probably 90% of all beer styles but 'ales' could mean anything from mild ale to barleywine and that's a difference of over 10% ABV. Ales range from as little as 3.2% ABV all the way past 25% ABV.

Lagers make up that other 10%, Pilseners fall in to that category but so do Dopplebocks. Lagers range from as little as 0.5% ABV up to around 10% ABV give or take, perhaps more on rare occasions.

Malt Liquor by definition technically isn't beer at all.

By your categorization ales are by far and away the strongest of the beers in terms of ABV with the strongest 'official' styles being barleywine, Russian imperial stout, Belgian quadruple, and old ale. There's also a few beers of extrodinary strength which are in a class all their own though like Sam Adam's Utopias.

Sam Adam's Utopias is the strongest beer that I know of at 25%+ ABV. Some others get close like Dogfish Head World Wide Stout (21%) and 120 Minute IPA (18%) and there's many in the 15% range.

Malt liquors...

there is a beer in Yorkshire that boasts 16% but the Belgians got that one beat at 25% it is a trappist beer and boy if you drink to much you certanly becomea bit trappist .
its a beer that is somewhat simular to englands barly wine but a lot stronger

Malt Liquor (I think)
