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%.

For the discriminating pallet that wants to get jacked up faster.

this is just marketing for a beer that costs way more than its worth

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

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

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?

Real beer doesn’t have fruit in it.

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.

its alcohol by volume (ABV), which stands at 28%.

That makes it 56 proof doesn’t it?

I was drinking 11% ABV beer in Belgium and I thought that was strong. Then again it was less that $1 for a 17.5 ounce can.

Or, you could just drink a six-pack of the regular stuff. About the same amount of alcohol for a lot less money.

“..with 2,000 pounds of cherries and offers “subtle notes of honeyed apricot and caramel to the rich layers of flavor.”

If I want fruit flavor I’ll buy juice or flavored brandy, thank you.

Several years ago I found myself in Heidelberg, GE in Vetters Pub. Vetter’s claimed the worlds strongest beer at 33%. I’ll try anything once, twice if I like it. I ordered a glass. It was a small 7 ounce glass. The beer wasn’t particularly good, it was dark and thick and I almost had to chew it. lol. I got a nice buzz after I finished the glass but I didn’t go for seconds.

28% is not normal beer.
normal beer is more like 4 or 5 or 6 pct alcohol.
some special craft beers are higher but
28% is closer to rocket fuel than what most normal people consider beer.

i am not saying forbid it, only make sure it is labelled clearly as to its true nature. thanks
