Typos

I got this email today from a shop up in Scotland who have just expanded their range of beers:

BEER RANGE EXPANDED

(Much like your waist band will be...)
We are always on the look out for great new beers.
Here is a selection of recently acquired new products.
(Click on links below for product details)
ANCHOR Steam (4.8%) £2.15
ANCHOR Liberty Ale (4.8%) £2.35
ANCHOR Porter (5.6%) £2.35

WEIHENSTEPHAN Hefe Weisse (5.4%) £2.65
WEIHENSTEPHAN Kristal Weiss (5.4%) £2.65

ODELL 5 IPA (5.2%) £2.85
ODELL 90 Shilling (5.3%) £2.85
ODELL Cutthroat Porter (4.8%) £2.75

TRAPPISTES Rochefort 10 (5.4%) £2.65
A good cause for celebration when anyone gets in better beers, but it seems they have got the last line rather wrong! Trappistes Rochefort 10? Sounds more like Rochefort 5 at that strength.

I know I can't talk when it comes to typos, I do them all the tyme, but if your trying to promote a new exiting range of beers to people, get the details right.

  3. Yeah, the ABV on Rochefort is really wrong. The one on Anchor's Liberty ale is false as well, though not as much. I'm 100% certain that it is over 5% though, a bit stronger than the Porter if I remember correctly.
