The darker a beer, the more alcohol it contains. It's true that a dark beer can look mysterious and more intoxicating than a lighter one, but there's absolutely no truth to this. The color of a beer has nothing to do with how much alcohol it contains, and anyone bragging (or preaching) about the color of theirs is only fooling themselves. here is another interesting myth.

]]> Comment on Canadian 67 vs. Sleeman Bock by stephen_b http://blogs.thatsthespirit.com/beer/2009/10/07/canadian-67-vs-sleeman-bock/comment-page-1/#comment-7 stephen_b Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:33:05 +0000 http://blogs.thatsthespirit.com/beer/?p=379#comment-7 Thanks for chiming in, Adam. You're quite right about the apples and oranges issue here, of course, but as I noted over <a href="http://blogs.thatsthespirit.com/beer/2009/10/06/new-beer-coincidence/" rel="nofollow">here</a>, my intent was not to compare the two directly. What I was instead attempting to decide was whether the Bock would be worth the doubling of my caloric intake, which I think it was. And remember, while you are certainly talking to a guy with a "unique voice," you're also addressing someone who tastes and drinks a lot of beer and so has as much concern about calorie intake as anyone.

Been meaning to respond to this post for awhile but alas just getting to it now. I respect your unique voice in the beer world but on this occasion I think you've unfairly pitted these two beers against one another. I suspect it would be tough to find any true beer fan out there that would choose a light lager over a flavourful Bock. In my estimation it's really an apples to oranges comparison. A more appropriate comparison may have been 67 against other leading light beers in the segment. Or Bock on Bock. Cheers Hey Stephen, Adam Moffat here from Molson Coors.
