Walk into any Amman liquor store and you will see cans proudly marked 16%, 18% and even 20%. Strong lagers are a big part of Jordan’s beer culture because they deliver a lot of strength for little money: a 500 ml can at 20% contains about as much alcohol as six regular beers.
How strong beer is made
Brewers start with a richer, sugar-heavy wort and let the yeast ferment longer, producing much more alcohol than a standard 4–5% lager. The result is a heavier, sweeter beer with a noticeable warming finish.
