Malt liquor is a type of beer that has a higher alcohol content than regular beers, typically ranging from 6% to 12% alcohol by volume (ABV). It is made from malted barley, corn, or other grains, and is often brewed with additional sugars to increase its strength. Malt liquor is usually light in color and has a sweet, malty flavor. This beverage is often sold in larger containers, such as 40-ounce bottles, and is popular in certain social settings. Brands like Olde English 800 and Steel Reserve are well-known examples of malt liquor. It is typically consumed for its affordability and higher alcohol content.
