This does not sound at all like the beer the pilgrims consumed on the Mayflower? Is this product actually beer?
Still, fails the gunpower test.

Sounds more like Barlywine to me. Heck, it’s stronger than most fortified wines (that are usually around 20%).

It’s a fortified beverage, not beer by definition. Yeast dies above a 14% alcohol concentration so they are adding alcohol to make it 28%.

In fact its not really beer, and that is why its illegal. It can’t be called beer.

Yeah. Wine tops of at about 13% alcohol because that’s when the yeast are killed by their own waste. (Are you listening, San Francisco?)
Probably tastes pretty bad, by beer standards. At $240 a pop, hard pass. But, hey...at that price, you don’t have to sell too many.

Archie Bunker had the right idea about beer...”you don't buy beer,you rent it”.

Just get a beer and add a jigger of vodka. You won’t notice the taste difference after the 2nd or 3rd one.

Damn, even Trappist Ale maxes out at 9%! But it is only $8 or so a bottle. This SA stuff must be fortified, and perhaps overpriced a bit?

I live in bourbon country. I’ve learned that all bourbon starts with beer (and not a very tasty beer). They then distill from that to get the full alcohol level. Then it gets the rest of its taste from the barrel in which it is aged.
And yeah, to get that much alcohol in it it is no longer beer. You could say that all bourbon is just “distilled beer”.

I have never been a big fan of Sam Adams. I’ve always thought their marketing was a lot better than their beer. That said, I tried their Octoberfest yesterday, and it is outstanding. One of the best I’ve had.

I plan to buy a bottle for my next camping trip to have around the campfire. Does seem expensive but will still be cheaper than the Yeti cooler I’ll be storing it in.
