Beer with extra buzz on tap up to 16% - USATODAY.com (http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2009-11-03-beer_N.htm?poe=HFMostPopular)

According to the article, some states are brewing beer with an alcohol content - up to 16%! The nearest is in WV. Micro-breweries are experimenting with recipes, upping the malt/hops content in their batches.

The current average is around 4.65%. :popcorn:

BFD. :yawn: Sam Adams Utopias - 27% alcohol. Highest alcohol content of any non-distilled drink.

Once the alcohol content gets to high the drink starts to taste more like wine than beer.

Actually, Utopias is described as tasting like a brandy or congac.

$100 plus for a 24 oz bottle.:faint:

Go to Port of Call and get yourself a Blithering Idiot (I forget who brews that one, go figure!) It's about 16%, and tastes pretty good for a barley wine type of brew.

I've never tried the Sam Adams Utopias brew. The strongest beer I have downed was at Oktoberfest in Munich. Their brews were like 12 - 13%. Korean national beer, you never knew what you were getting. But you sure could taste the difference, from bottle to bottle!

I was wondering if the Ruddy Duck had an alcohol limit in their brews?

Check out Sam Adams Millennium. It costs several thousand dollars a bottle.

Just use champagne yeast in your home brewing with a little more sugar. It can go to 18%. Belgian Trappist Ale has high sugar content and would work.
