Being a homebrewer has definitely spoiled me.

Rob, I think that factoid's been appearing in the North American media for awhile I know I've seen it appear on the episodes devoted to beer on Modern Marvels and odd related History, NatGeo & Discovery channel program (aside from the ones on Guinness). I think that one of the theories on why people are going craft or microbrew is that the majors are cheeping out on ingredients using more corn & rice then wheat & barley.

Still, I've seen store-people nonplussed about damage to a mixed pallet of Budweiser & Melbourne Bitter, but then around here I've seen beer sold on the typical supermarket shelf that every drinker would probably be happy to see damaged - near zero alcohol content beer. Yet, I've also come across a supermarket with the proper stuff's present on a standard shelf - yes I know Aldi (in Australia) typically have alcohol on the shelves beside the bread - but this was a normal isle near fruit & veg.

Oh I've got a semi-diy brewer near me, which will make 6 cases of whatever beer you want provided they've got the recipe in around two hours - includes bottling/canning time. The strongest beer they do is an Duvel equivalent.

Actually a beer that going by the Alc% for being close to water are West End Light, Tooheys Blue & Fosters Special Bitter: 2.7%.

Meh, I'm not really a drinker, I've been advised that I'd probably like Guinness & the manager I report to owes me some Crownies.
