After this initial measurement, yeast is added to the wort and fermentation begins, allowing the yeast to “consume” its fill of sugar. This process converts the sugar from the malted grain and converts it into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Fermentation is also where additional and different forms of sugar can be added to increase the alcohol content and alter the flavor of the beer. Sugars in the forms of brown sugar, honey, palm sugar, or dextrose can be added – each form of sugar lending a distinct taste profile to the beer. The final gravity of the beer is then measured post-fermentation to calculate how much sugar has been converted to alcohol, allowing brewers to calculate the final ABV. Skol Super Beer is a new product line from Skol that lays claim to “The only 9% alcohol super strong beer”. The statement is not inaccurate – it is the King of Lagers (in a fiefdom of mostly 5% alcohol standard beers). Certain fortified beers like Carlsberg’s Special Brew attempt to challenge the sovereignty of Skol Super Beer, weighing in at a respectable 8.8% – close, but no cigar. Thames Reach is calling for a new 6% strength ceiling on the alcohol content for canned and bottled super strength lagers and ciders.

Of the 4,000 individuals that Thames Reach worked with in 2005, 47% were found to have an alcohol misuse problem and around 800 individuals were addicted to super strength lagers and ciders. Carlsberg is understood to keen to continue selling Special Brew, but is looking at a number of options, including cutting the alcohol strength or selling it in smaller cans.Well, we’ll let you in on a secret. It isn’t the beer that’s adding to your waistline, but the calories that’s pushing your Topshop shirt sizes up from M to L. ALL calories can increase your belly fat if it’s not burnt off. Alcohol (all types, not just beer) is little worse because when you chug it down, your liver gets busy burning the alcohol instead of your fat. Plus, alcohol also gives you the munchies. You get hungry when you drink and end up scarfing down a whole load of chips and other calorie-laden foods. So, it’s probably a good idea to remember the keyword for life – moderation.

Not all drinks firms take the same approach. Two years ago, Heineken, the third-largest global brewer, first diluted and then halted production of 8.5 per cent White Lightning, saying that the cider "continued to attract negative headlines and is still associated with a park-bench mentality".

Global Popularity: Popularidade globalShane Brennan of the Association of Convenience Stores added: "Local schemes against street drinking may have a role to play but we don't think a blanket ban is the answer."
