I’ve never been to that beer garden or any biergarten but happened to purchase a can of “beer” last night that nearly knocked me out. A lager, I guess, 8.1%. Should have been labeled “novice users use extreme caution”.
Some very strong beers are being made now. I notice sometimes when we’re at the drinks-and-fancy-grocery-store. I suppose it’s a matter of state law how high the alcohol content can be, with its still being sold as beer.
I drink wine that’s weaker than your beer. (7.5%, $2.87 a bottle at Aldi ;-).
