Yes. If there is less than 2.2% it cannot be called beer.

Meet Victory Brewing Co's "Twelve". 12% abv.

It will Fuck You Up. And it will be Mighty Tasty while it does!

Ah, a minimum strength. A much better idea.

12! Dats some strong stuff!

Beers here range from "light" <2%, through "mid-strength" 2-4%, to "full bodied" 4+%. Most are in the 4.5 to 6% range, although Coopers Vintage is a very drinkable 7.5%.

AFAIK this is not true.

But some places have a limit on what % is allowed to be sold in grocery stores and such. The stronger ones are available, but only in liquor stores along with the hard stuff.

About 2/3rds of American beer drinkers prefer the standard American lager, while the rest of us say that's like sex in a canoe, and drink heartier, bigger-tasting stuff.

The ever-popular Bud family:

5.0% Budweiser
5.0% Bud Dry
4.2% Bud Light
5.5% Bud Ice
4.1% Bud Ice Light
4.3% Bud Select
4.2% Busch Light

Sex in a canoe? Um.....

Anyway, when I think of Australian beer, the first thing that comes to mind is Foster's. Which isn't bad, but I suspect there's better stuff out there.

I'll drink Bud usually, but if I want to splurge I go for something like Newcastle or Michelob Amber Bock.

Guinness, mmmmm.
Harp, mmmm
Red Stripe, mmm. good for the beach, beyotch.

Pilau is the obvious choice here, I think. Those snausages sound awesome! :) (and the tarts)

fosters is the stuff we sell to you lot in the US. Not too many aussies will touch it with a barge pole...unless they're really desperate. For example, if that's all that's left in the esky.

The old joke is: "Coors Light is like sex in a canoe. Fucking close to water."

I had to wait for someone to ask, you see.

Where the F are you Homber?
we have Budweiser der konig auf beers which is, despite it's clarity, 5.5% and some of the nutkins drink Spaten which is 7.6% and then there is Samichlaus which is 14%.
But in Utah all bets are off...

speaking of beer

I like the wheat beers/flavored fancy pumpkin ale and apple cider beer if I am going to drink one.

There is an american beer that is black ale. It's quite a stout one I can't remember the name. I don't drink that one because I am a light weight.

I can't stand Fosters and Guinness and bud.

Corona tastes like a Miller of which I like along with Michelob.

I can't tolerate beers much because of the yeast. The yeast gives me a headache right off.

I'm fond of a good wheat beer. But I really haven't had any beer, except for maybe a couple at a party, in years. I've been strictly on the hard stuff.

I like a nice girly "flavored beer". It's not really beer at all, but that's what it says it is on the label. It's the cheese food product* of beer.






* contains no real cheese

People go apeshit over Shiner and Fat Tire around here. Those two and Dos Equis are practically all you ever see. Is that stuff even available in other states?
