I have heard through meny people that Canadian beer is 5% or 5.5% alchohol and American beer is only 3.5% alchohol. I am a canadian, and I know that the 5% is true, but when I lived in Hawaii, I checked on all beer labels, and there isn't a percentage posted. I am a very curoius person in nature, and had to find out. With no posted percentage anywhere to be found on most beer sold in the US, I am still confused??? I have heard from many people living in the states that Canadian beer gets them real drunk, real fast, but it could just be the altitude or something....probably not! I have consumed american beer, and found that I need to drink quite a bit more to feel.....well you know. Anyway, just wondering if anyone knew for sure.

hmm... i can't think of anything specifically, and i have none on hand to look up if it has a percentage, but i was pretty sure a percentage is listed on some kinds and i was pretty sure that it was more than 3.5% alcohol. or at least all the beer i've drunk! :beer:

American beer tastes like what I'd imagine urine to taste like, Canadian beer is edible, but the beer in England is wonderful and what beer should be.

Way back in the day when I used to drink alcohol, Canadian beer kicked American beer's ass. Now, with the popularity of micro brews, you can now find strong American made beer. It is hard to determine which ones are vegetarian or not, though (as far as micro brews go).

I've heard the same percentages Katkalilla. But I'm a Canadian and I don't drink beer, so I can't verify it.

The best american beers are better than the best canadian. I don't know which is better among coors, but, molson, and labatts, because they are all crap.
Some american states have restrictions on the amount of alcohol in beer.

I like to American Micro Brews, they will vary from 4% to a whopping 8.5%. Standard American Beer (Coors, Bud, etc) taste stale. The Canadian Beer I have had tastes watered down. I do love good Euro beer!

The Canadian standard brew is crap too! Canadian, Pilsner, Kokanee... :flush:
It is all about the microbrews! There is nothing like a wonderfully full flavored and full bodied locally brewed beer.
My fav- in Alberta, Wildrose wrasberry ale (brewed in edmonton)
