Food.com defines "Beer"

This must have been written by a true beer connoisseur.  "A generic name for a low-alcohol beverage", "Beers in the United States have between 3 and 8 percent alcohol while in Europe beer can have as high as 13 percent", and "Beer should not be aged like other liquors" are my favorite snippets.  Read the whole thing for a good laugh, or cry, depending on your mood.
