You guys do realized that anything with as much alchohol as some of these can hardly be called beer. Hell, even a barly wine isn't over 12% or so as the yeast will die off from the alchohol just like it does with anything else.

Those 24-28% monsters have to be fortified after fermentation.

They've bred strains of yeast designed to survive high alcohol environments. It's harder, and you have to heavily oxygenate the environment for it, and it's designed mainly for industrial alcohol production, but it is out there. Google "turbo yeast".

OK..so maybe I stand corrected here in that they have managed to breed yeasts with extremely high attenuation levels.

At 24% though it still aint beer! If you think so, just try selling in a beer-only county! Thanks for the info.
