Well, budweiser's in big-time trouble what with the
false advertising. Miller I could understand, what with being owned by Philip Morris.
Percentage by volume is higher, since alcohol is lighter than water. The 3.2% beer in utah is 3.2% by weight, which translates to about 4.0%.
I think you just need to go out and get youself a 40 of F'd Up malt liquor.
BTW, anyone been on the AB "brewery" tour? Best part is certainly not the tasting room. To me it was learning that "beechwood aged" means that they chuck a bunch of wood strips (beechwood strips, mind you), into the ginormous steel tanks that the beer "ages" in for 118 minutes (or whatever).
Mmmm . . . brewery fresh.
