Bottom-
fermented, this
fine tasty beverage has it's
alcohol level
raised by adding highly fermentable
corn syrup and
sugars when
brewed. In some
states, any
beer that has an alcohol
percentage over 5% must actually be
labeled "malt liquor."
Malt Liquor is great for bonding with friends or making new friends. There's just something about passing a cold forty around a room, everybody enjoying that charcoal filtered goodness.
When drinking malt liquor alone, there's an old adage to live by:
"You drink the first half of a forty, so that you can drink the second."
