You may be surprised to know that Pete's Wicked Line and Samual Adams
beers are readily available over here in the UK in quite a few outlets
now.

This a kickback to the probition period - there was a good posting
regarding this a few weeks ago.
Regarding stronger US brews, the Celis Brewery I know does a 1.090
original gravity brew called 'CELIS GRAND CRU'. With such a gravity
the beer must be in the region of 9% ABV. Pierre Celis of course was
originally from Belgium where most of the ales are brewed to a high
gravity.

Yes I agree, I wish some of the older guys at my local MG natters
would take more heed of this.
