Probably not a shocker, but interesting to see the data, it appears the average ABV across a given beer category does increase the average beer score for that particular category. A few noticeable outliers are goses and berliner weisses which tend to score high despite their low ABV, and American malt liquors score low despite their relatively high alcohol content.
The chart below shows Beeradvocate’s average rAVG score for each beer category (essentially the average of all individual beer averages for each beer category) in a scatter plot with the beer category average ABV.
