    Another fun fact you reminded me of when talking about getting something up the their ABV is that in the US you’re allowed a very significant margin of error, basically 0.3%. This is because it can be hard to control fermentation temperature and batches can vary… But that’s not the case for the big brewers, they can afford tanks with precision that would have been thought impossible before. So basically any light beer you see, you can shave like 0.3% off that. If it says 4.5, it’s likely 4.2, bud heavy is probably more like 4.7 now.
