YIKES! I love beer as well, but I'm not sure I would love it at 32% alcohol volume. Wow! That's extremely high!
We have one in Canada called: "La Maudite", which translates to : "The Damned One". It contains 8% alcohol.
I much prefer sticking to 5%-5.75% volume

A warning on the label states: "This is an extremely strong beer; it should be enjoyed in small servings and with an air of aristocratic nonchalance. In exactly the same manner that you would enjoy a fine whisky, a Frank Zappa album or a visit from a friendly yet anxious ghost.


Having listened to Frank Zappa in my youth I can concur with his statement.

NC, I think you should pay attention to this paragraph quoted above, you won't need more than one bottle ... if that.

Besides, why drink beer ... when one can have Scotch or Whiskey instead?! :) Especially when both of those libations are stronger.

Something does not sound quite right with this whole thing, I live in Saint John, NB where "Mooshead" is brewed, (domestic Mooshead is 7.5%) they also brew several other brands that are not exported. The one the "Old Timers" always linked is 10 Penny, the bottle said 10% Alcohol content by volume, strong stuff. Many of the old timers claimed it was much higher, saying things like 20% and I always believed them, then I had the chance in 1985 to meet the VP of the brewery and one of the brewmasters so I asked... True story - 10 Penny is brewed to produce 10% Alcohol by volume, HOWEVER, due to production schedules it is/was often not bottled when it reached 10 % and continued to ferment to the maximum of 18%, - which according to the Brewmaster is the absolute Max that any brew based on Hopps can get, apparently once the Alcohol content goes above 18% the fermentation process in hopps stops. He did say people have made claims of higher content in beer and Ale for years and in the brewing business it can only be done by adding the alcohol after the brew is finished.

I know nothing about brewing other than I used to love that 10 Penny and most of the other brands brewed by Mooshead, but the brewmaster had won many awards and he did seem to know what he was talking about... BTW he was an Aussie transplant so he probably knew what strong brew was since childhood...lol

I got dumped by my girlfriend. Just one of those days, I guess. Not the best of times.

I'd buy it just for the name! That's funny. I do have a bottle of Terrible somewhere around here....
