But be careful if you get to try the new ancient brew - at 10.8 per cent alcohol content it's likely to blow your cassock off.

Dogfishead IPA 120 ale, when aged for 5 years or so tends to be very delicious, sweet and 21% to 22% alcohol.

Oregon has a lot of great craft breweries. I select my beer by first looking for the maximum alcohol contents and then narrow it down between an IPA or a Porter. I can usually find several at 9%-11%.

“Dogfishead IPA 120 ale, when aged for 5 years or so tends to be very delicious, sweet and 21% to 22% alcohol.”

Doesn’t fermentation stop at about 15%?
