English beers stronger than German ones?

??? Most English ales are in the 4% area. There are a few at 5% (ESB, Abbot) but I don't think I've seen anything stronger in a pub (of course bottled beer is different).

That's a hoot. Some years ago I spent an hour or so in a huge German beer tent at the Edinburgh festival, along with steelworkers and the like who were knocking back the litres as if it was their usual Carling rubbish. By about 3pm when we left the atmosphere was getting pretty menacing...
