¿Cómo se mide el contenido de alcohol en la cerveza? El contenido alcohólico es la forma en la que la mayoría de nosotros percibimos la fuerza de la cerveza y una de las características más fáciles de apreciar. Para medir el alcohol existen dos formas distintas: según el peso y según el volúmen. En Europa, como en la Argentina se mide el contenido según el volumen, por eso en las etiquetas aparecen los grados de alcohol, seguidos de " % vol. ". 2, record 1, Spanish, - contenido%20de%20alcohol
