Well, sorry about that. ABV is commonly used on beer labels when listing
the school content. Kinda like"%DV" on food labels (Daily Value). Been used
since beer was first bottled. You will see this listed on almost all beers
from non US brewers. For some reason, US brewers don't put it on the label,
although they freely provide such information via other means.

So, now you know something new...
