That it does. I was going by the stuff we get in the US (which is not
even from Ireland but brewed by Labatt in Canada) which is where I took
the original poster to be from.

Most beer in the US is still not labeled for alcohol content (not that I
have a bottle of GES around) and took my figures from US editions of
Michael Jackson's books.
