You too can be a smartypants – Why some beers don’t have ABV on the Label, isn’t it illegal?

link: vinepair.com/article... Posted in Business of Beer on   

Not it’s not illegal, actually the opposite. After Prohibition was repealed, Congress passed a law in 1935 that banned the listing of alcohol content on cans and bottles of brew. The thinking was that if the beers prominently listed their alcohol content, it would cause breweries to compete in “strength wars,” attempting to make the strongest beers. The ban on listing alcohol content on beer lasted until 1995 when the Coors Brewing Company successfully challenged the law.

NEW YORK BAR CHARGES $125 FOR A BEER
New York Upper East Side bar Treadwell Park offers Oud Beersel’s Bzart Lambiek for US$125 a bottle, which is probably the most expensive bottled brew on pour in the city. Treadwell Park is one of a growing number of bars adding high-priced bottled brews to their ‘reserve list’.

Less than two years after unmanageable debt and a bank foreclosure forced San Diego-based Green Flash Brewing to sell to a holding company, auction off its $20 million expansion brewery in Virginia Beach, close its Southern California barrel-aging facility, and pull beer distribution from 42 states to concentrate on its home and neighboring markets, the brewery that helped pioneer the industry-transforming west coast IPA style has quietly returned to the eastern seaboard.
