74 of those 100 were over 8%. Seems like it can't be a good beer anymore unless it is an imperial aged in bourbon barrels

And a good number of those 26 not above 8% are sour beers. There are not a lot of everyday beers on that list.

That doesn't surprise me. Most of the craft beer enthusiasts I know favor beers above 8 percent, although not by design. If I make a list of my current top 10, it will likely have 6-8 beers at 8% or above. It's not like anyone is turning their nose up at a beer based on its ABV alone.
