and yeah most of these high alcohol beers are specialty beers that only the high brow tend to buy. If they made 12% lucky i'd imagine that would be a problem. what a bunch of ######s.

Most of my favorite beers hover around the 10-11% mark, dangerously close. I love the strong belgian dark ales.
The problem with this is that I actually like to try the beers that I see that I have not yet tried. I recently tried a 17.5% and 15% beer. They were actually quite good. Not something that I would buy routinely (or again probably in those two cases) but I like having the option. It is hard enough for companies to import their alcoholic products to canada, why are we making this worse?
Makes me angry, as I cannot see a possible reason for this to be pass. At all. These beers are never sold at establishments, so people aren't going out to bars and getting hammered on them, they are only really sold for personal use, where people try them out at home with friends. And as said earlier, there are obvious and much cheaper things to buy if one simply wants to get plastered. So ridiculous. If anyone does find the proper email, I would write an angry long one....for probably the first time ever.
