What's next? I ama Canadian and have had a running feued with my friend in Florida who works at Disney in Orlando, he said that the beer imported to the US from Canada, is watered down yet if you check but Molsons and Labatts they claim it is the same as what we drink here.
Some American beer like the ones around the border areas, has only 4%, we do brew it more to the english method of brewing, and yes. there are some American craft brewed beers that are 5%.
It all comes down to brewing method and that all our beer is 5%, with the exception of light 4%, ultra light 3.5% and premium/high alcohol 5.3-7%.
Even our de-alcoholized beer is .05% alcohol. Aren't they both 5% by volume? It only looks like its stronger because US beer is done by weight! Wiki/canadian/alcoholcontent That's an urban legend and does not hold much truth whatsoever. In fact, the Boston Beer Company, makers of Samuel Adams, has brewed some of the highest alcoholic content ever recorded. Their latest extremely high Alcohol By Volume offering is a 50 proof beer, meaning ABV is 25%.
Usually though beer has an average ABV anywhere between 5% and 8%, and this is true for both American and Canadian brews.
