bottom line; english beers are LESS alcoholic per unit volume than
american beers. period.

They are? They vary quite widely in strength from around 3% for a mild,
and near 7% for 'strong ale'. There are one or two outliers at about 9%.
Beers in the US range from around 3.2% to around 5.5% for the mass
produced stuff, and generally around 5%-7% for some of the smaller
breweries outputs. Presumably, there are a couple of 9% outliers too.

There are, mostly in Scotland where they probably deep fry them into the
bargain.

Canadian (Belgian Style) brewery called Unibroue

They ales with up to 9% (used to be 10%). Only brews I have ever found
that have that high of alcohol and don't taste disgusting.

I especially like Trois Pistoles & La Fin Du Monde
