o/t quick beer question

[patrick]

Whats the strongest beer available over here.......would also help if you knew the % figures

 

[Lee]

Do you mean brewed here???

There is one called Dogfish Head WorldWide stout, that is 23%, but that is actually brewed in America.

 

[Ed]

Owd Roger, which is an ale, is 7.6% strongest i know of

I was drinking some dutch stuff that was 12% a few weeks ago but I can't mind the name. Duvel is also pretty potent - that's about 8-9%

 

[patrick]

Cheers, just chatting with an american pefriend and she was saying their beer is around 3% so I just wondered about ours

 

[Ed]

british beer is much stronger as a rule than most other countries.

The good old alternative to paint stripper.... Carlsberg Special Brew is 9% vol...

 

[Matt]

is it? I can't think of any off the top of my head stronger than the European stuff available in pubs/supermarkets. Most ales/beers I see are around 3-5.5%.

he was a fast bricklayer when he was younger i mean i lay between 800-1000 a day on price and my grandad was laying that in a morning lol ive seen him do a shade over 2000 on a factory unit once lol he was like bees wings lol

[Matt]

My grandad retired at 80 and was so bored afterward.

And Patrick, starting a grandad related topic will mean we'll eventually get onto grandads

hose wild and crazy guys at Boston Beer Co. have done it again, brewing a beer so strong they label it 48 proof, using terminology usually reserved for spirits. Sam Adams Utopias MMII, which goes on sale this month, is in fact 24% alcohol by volume, making it the strongest commercial beer in the world.
