Lots of possible reasons: *It may be being brewed in a different way causing the strength to be stronger or weaker. *Barley wine tends to be stronger than most beers. Stronger brews may be subject to different regulations and taxing for sale in different states, and the brewer may have changed it accordingly. Even the fact that it has a strength listed indicates it is considered hard liquor rather than beer.
