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.

[Clemenza]

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

[Fungi]

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%.

[Salvavida]

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

[poinq]

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

[poinq]

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”.

[Carriage Hill]

Pass on it.

[Vaduz]

Chery stand opens people like much.

[Richard Axtell]

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.

[immadashell]

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

That makes it 56 proof doesn’t it?

[Oshkalaboomboom]

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.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

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.

[faithhopecharity]

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
