Alcohol by weight and by volume

In the US beer has the the alcohol content listed on the container....if it is listed at all...by volume. In most states beer is somewhere in the 4 or 5 percent by volume with 5% being more usual on regular non light beer..

Last trip to the grocery I picked up a six pack of Grolsch Premium Blond to give it a try. Grolsch is a product of Holland. And... noticed it had an alcohol content of 3.2 by weight. So did a google search... and take 1.25 x 3.2 weight and come up with 4 percent by volume.

Tastes ok, but not as good as the regular Grolsch... which is not "blond".

LOOKS LIKE IT'S US IMPORT ONLY
