Dark Horse Plead the 5th ABV?

It certainly makes me drunk enough to believe it's 12%... does the Ohio law prohibit beer strictly over 12% or does it also apply to beer at exactly 12%? Plead the Fifth is listed at 12 even, so maybe it's just squeaks under the limit. Or perhaps the ABV changes from year to year, and this release was more like 11.5 or something.

I'm sure someone else can shed some light on the situation.

 

I believe that beer in Ohio can be 12% but not over that. Pt5 does not have the ABV marked on the bottles or the carriers so that is probably how they are able to sell it in Ohio if it is 12+%. Their web site also does not list the ABV. It does not seem like Ohio got any Double Crooked Tree this year when we got it last year. I was told that Double CT has the ABV posted on it this year and it did not have it posted last year.

 

When I was in their brewpub last month they had it listed as 14%.

 

I thought ABV had to be below 13 in Ohio?

 

Ohio has a 12% ABV limit.

 

On a related note - this finally hit the Chicago area today. $11.99/4-pack at Binny's.

 

14% on beer profile.

 

Hopefully this means it will be hitting Milwaukee/Wisconsin soon...

 

edit...

plead the fifth is 12%.

I originally posted for BA plead the fifth...oppps. I gotta read better lol

 

Thanks for the info. Just brought some home.
