A lot of States in the US have limits to how much alcahol a beer can contain.
After 6 months in California I found a 'Liqour Store' that sold British and European beers only to find when I read the labels they were import beers with reduced the alcahol content.:smile::smile:

East Coast States don't have that problem fortunately... :smile:

I will, for the first time in 11 years, be drinking Cider tonight.

Why, you ask?

Because I have just finished reading Fantastic Mr. Fox to the kids. It's about a Fox, his cubs and his Badger mate who are being hunted by evil Farmers.

The wee animals get their revenge by raiding one of the Farmers Home-made Cider Stores and getting drunk whilst praising the quality and strength of the Cider. Even the kids!

That was a Roald Dahl favourite of mine. I still remember Boggis, Bunce and Bean!

Hope you've recovered from your fall.

Have a scrumpy on your first visit to the pub!

Cheers...

Cheers, the ribs are almost better now.

I'm heading back to Devon tonight so I might well have a scrumpy....

Have a good w/e - I've got some wet MTBing on Dartmoor planned...

I might be wrong but I thought only Utah limited the alcohol level of their beers because of the Mormons. Here in Michigan we have plenty of beer with 6%+ alcohol. I have seen up to 20% being sold here (Dogfish Head 120min IPA).

I'm having a time off the beer. I saw some photos of me taken in an event I took part in last Sunday posted on the internet today and I look like the flaming Michelin man!

observing the experimentally-induced intoxicated behavior of ants in 1888, naturalist John Lubbock noted that insects that had too much to drink were picked up by nest mates and carried home. On the other hand, drunken strangers were summarily thrown in a ditch.
