If you want to drink at an establishment…
Beer on tap is limited to 5% even at a brewery. You can buy stronger beers, but they will be in a can or bottle.
Cider isn’t beer, so you can get hard cider above 5% on tap.
Cocktails are limited to 1.5 oz of the primary liquor. There can be up to 1 oz of additional secondary liquors in the drink. The pours are metered so no getting around it.
If the place has a restaurant license, you must order food to drink. If the place has a bar license, food is not required but must be 21+ to enter.
There are limits to how much alcohol you can have in front of you. I’m a little sketchy on the rules, but I don’t think you can have a beer and a whisky in front of you at the same time for example.
