Back when I used to drink, I loved high-alcohol beer. It solved the problem of beer bloat (sort of).

You could sip on a high-alcohol beer like a martini.

Is it really too much alcohol, or is it something more sinister? You decide.

Sounds newsworthy, but I have to ask how big the excess is over the labeled amount. 0.1%? 0.2%.... 2%.

What precision is being called for here?

Otherwise, it’s a case of “there is no bad publicity” for the brewer.

I brew my own beer and have had this problem.

I brewed a Krolsch beer for the first time and somehow it fermented after bottling.

Blew the bottom out of two liter bottles but man, it was good - tasty and powerful.

Me and my family lived in Australia for six months in late 1984, early 1985 and it was interesting to see the drinking culture there (they very much enjoyed their beer and wine and spirits). The drinking age was 18 but with efforts to teach responsible drinking habits to all (no drunk driving,etc). One of the major beer brands Toohey’s brewed a 2.2 alcohol content beer and marketed it that you could enjoy one or a couple of them and be still under the legal BAC limit.

I think that’s a feature, not a bug.
