Value Beer FAQs

What is strong beer?

Strong beer is brewed to a higher alcohol content than a standard lager, usually by using more malt so the yeast has more sugar to ferment. Strong lagers taste fuller and slightly sweeter, with a warming finish.

How many standard drinks are in a can of strong beer?

It depends on the size and strength. In New Zealand a standard drink contains 10 grams of alcohol, so a 500ml can at 8% holds roughly 3.2 standard drinks, compared with 1.3 in a 330ml can at 5%. The figure is printed on the label.

What is Kingfisher beer?

Kingfisher is a lager brand from India, made by United Breweries. It is widely served in Indian restaurants, and Kingfisher Strong is a fuller, higher strength version of the original lager.

What is Red Horse beer?

Red Horse is a strong lager from the Philippines, made by San Miguel Brewery. It is a pale, malty beer with a sweeter, fuller body than a standard lager, sold in distinctive red cans and bottles.
