27% alcohol? How is that possible? Most beer is 6% and the fermenting yeast eventually create an environment (the ethyl alcohol) that is detrimental to their existence.

They must have grown some hearty genetically-modified yeasts to survive 27% alcohol. So what happens when you distill the 27% brew? (like wine at 12% is distilled into brandy).

I check my local store the highest ABV was 13.2%, which is extremely high for beer.
