these are all american beers from my 2 favorite brewers:

9%

http://www.dogfish.com/brewings/Limi...A/15/index.htm
20%

http://www.bellsbeer.com/branddetail.asp?BrandID=12
10%

the last two are at 56g and 28g, respectively. i assure you, theyre highly alcoholic beers.
(sam adams also has a handful 10+.. up to 20+ abv)

perhaps you need to bring those into your lab. what statute in specific are you referring to? in my alcohol drinking career, the only statutes im aware of are state mandated, not federal (with utah and colorado on the short end)

the brands you cited are not really beers, but part of a closely related group of malted beverages that includes ales, stouts, and porters. The difference between these types and beers is in the brewing process, which does allow for higher alcohol contents. Now if you are not making any distinction between ales, porters, stouts, and are calling them all beers, (as I suspect you are) then you are correct, some would have much higher alcohol contents as compared to what is defined as beer.

As for testing some in the lab, would love too but I prefer a good cabernet or bourbon...
