The author should try going to Belgium. In our recent trip to Brugge it was hard to find a beer under 10% and ones above that were common.

belgium is special. prohibition came to belgium in the form of a ban against hard liquor. strong beers came to fill the niche.

Plenty of Lambic family styles in Belgium that are under 10%, too. Just have to like sour beer :)
