Are you on the lookout for the strongest beers in the world?

You may know all about the top beer festivals and beer cities in the world, and the best places to go beer tasting in your local city. Perhaps you’ve even tried beer yoga at the last beer festival that you attended or at your local yoga studio. But, do you know what the strongest beers in the world are?

To clarify, strong beer is considered by most countries to start at an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 6%. However, this is subjective because in some countries it’s 4.8%.

Let’s have a look at 5 of the strongest beers in the world

The reason why more than one brewery can claim to have the strongest beers in the world is that the definition of what is and isn’t beer is disputable.
