[That Old Canadian Beer Myth Rises Again](http://worldofbeer.com/brightbeer/canbeermyth.html)

> World of Beer is amazed that the mythology of Canadian beer being stronger than the US-brewed equivalent still persists. The difference lies not in the beer itself, but in the way alcohol content is typically measured. Canadians list the alcohol contents of their beers by volume, while the Americans usually state them by weight. The standard strength of most major brewery beers – 5% by volume in Canada; 4% by weight in the United States – are actually more-or-less equal.
