my friends feed me drinks when they want to learn about the soviet union

Fyi I used to work in brewing and you have to do some weird ass shit to get above 10. Either you add sugar or you mix running from multiple brews off to get really high gravity. The later wastes a lot of materials since you’re essentially getting a fraction of the amount of beer you’d usually get from the same amount of barley and hops. So most companies just dump dextrose in the kettle to up the gravity.

When I worked in the industry all the shit that sold well was the high ABV shit. I think there’s people out there who are in denial that their alcoholics by saying “I just drink beer!” but they’re crushing 9% shit, which is probably worse for you than just getting a bottle of vodka.
