Beer: March 2007 ArchivesMarch 7
By Rick Armon They’re big. They’re bad. They’ll knock you on your fanny if you’re not careful. Extreme and big beers — those with high alcohol content and colossal flavor — are all the rage among craft brewers and many beer drinkers nowadays. Triple India pale ales. Imperial stouts. Belgian-style ales. And even, gasp, imperial pilsners. Craft brewers are pushing the limits when it comes to alcohol content and flavor profiles. Sometimes quite literally, considering state liquor laws. It’s no longer unusual to see beers with double-digit alcohol content on the grocery store shelf, a feat previously reserved for wine and liquor. (In Ohio, you can thank a change in state law in 2002 that boosted the legal limit in beer to 12 percent.)
