I have to say I am not convienced about this method they us of repeated 'distilling' by freezing.

Just add raw ethanol to a punk dog and be done with it.

I dont understand why a brewery that makes very good, tasty and sucessful beers has to indulge in this cheap commericalism of chasing the strongest beer. Technically as they dont use heat distillation they can call it beer..

but they are not fooling us - right ?

As John says the gimmicks they are pulling off are allowing the brand to punch way above the weight of their marketing budget, by effectively becoming viral.
