Right, but beer varies widely in alcohol content. One "standard beer" might be defined as 12 oz / ~330ml @ 4.5% alcohol by volume, but many IPAs are 6-7% or greater, and in most U.S. states you can find lots of beer in excess of 10% ABV.
- frankquestions 9y ago“Lots of beer in excess of 10%” is a bit of a stretch. I think it’s more common to see the 6-7% range represented with something pushing 10% being the outlier.

- freehunter 9y agoOne of my favorites is Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout, which is a barrel-aged beer and is around 13%. Actually where I live, barrel-aged beers are becoming very common, most craft breweries have them. And they're all above 10%. Not debating the "specialty concentration techniques" since it's basically infusing the beer with whiskey, but it's certainly very easy to get a beer with an ABV above 10%. Very easy. Your local liquor store likely has several varieties in stock right now.
