What is the difference between Americian and canadian beer with alchol content?
Canadian beer is measured in percentage per volume. The majority of the beer here is 5 per cent. Though it wasn’t always in the past, this is mostly how the US has changed their labelling. This explains the old way – “A 3.2% beer in the U.S. (by weight) would be equivalent to a 4% beer in Canada (by volume). However, U.S. beer is labelled according to state laws, which unanimously dictate that the maximum alcohol percentage be labelled. As such, a 5.4% beer in the U.S. (by weight) may legally contain as little as 1% alcohol by weight. Nevertheless, many U.S. beers often label their alcohol content by volume.” In contrast to that, Canadian beer shows the minimum weight, not the average.
