"This process involves cooling the beer to zero degrees during the brewing process; as the water freezes the alcohol does not and then the ice that forms is removed, leaving a very strong beer."
Isn't that cold distillation? I imagine this brew would have a strong resemblance to scotch. Mmmmmmm ... scotch ...

eis bier in Germany. At a friends house last month, he told me to help myself to beer in the garage fridge so I did. I was surprised to see a 12 oz(approx) Aventinus beer in his fridge. It was already midnight, I grabbed the beer thinking I was getting an Aventinus weisse, popped the top, poured it in a glass and almost gagged it was so strong and alcoholic. Turns out it was an eis-bock at 12% ABV. I can't even imagine how you could drink a 65% ABV beer, that's 130 proof.
In the eyes of our benevolent government they are one and the same. It's all done to protect us from ourselves.
Any means used to concentrate the alcohol is a distillation. That's why I'll never make an eisbier or distill my beer to make it stronger.
