“No, they have strains of yeast now that can get above 20%”
They must have done some gene splicing from a couple of my friends!

possibly mixed an ale yeast with champagne yeast which has a very high
tolerance to alcohol...in my old home brewing days you would make high
gravity beers in this manner...start it with an ale yeast which would peter
out at about 8% and then finish it with champagne yeast
