it's a legal term for beer with higher than normal alcohol content, something to do with more hops and the fermentation process
the hurricane you mention is 8.1% abv, apparently making it a higher-end version of St. Ides or Steel Reserve (both 8.2%abv)
I'm not that much of a beer drinker but when I do I keep it simple, Bud, Miller High Life, etc. as far as the hi test stuff goes when broke it is the cheapest buzz out there (the cheap stuff that is) and some of it isn't that bad ... there is this stuff calledCrazy HorseCrazy Stallion (there was apparently a lawsuit with offended Indians [feather] that was settled by a lawsuit who's terms included blankets, sweet grass and horses, this in the 21st century, you can't make this shit up) which is 6% x 25oz which was $1 and tasted just fine, no better or worse than a Bud, then they went and upped the price to $1.25 to the consternation of bums everywhere
somewhere in an archived Lounge "low class thread" I did the math on how to get drunk the cheapest in NYC, pre-quarter increase this stuff was the best buzz by 14 cents per unit of alcohol and now it's only like 7 cents over getting a pint of rotgut vodka (all calculations having been done assuming you have only $5 in your pocket)
the bastards
but yeah I will voluntarily drink some of the stuff, in addition to Off-the-Reservation-Equine, Colt 45, Cobra (both 6%abv), st Ides (8.2%abv) aren't bad, Steel Reserve is grosser though and gives a bitch of a hangover
as far as the world goes, the world is shit, but it's the only one we have, so how can we even apply terms like 'good' and 'bad' to the world, unless in some overarching eschatological sense?
