I think 5% is the standard and most popular beer in any European country. It is mainstream.
Although there are plenty of 4.6, 3.8 etc. In Scandinavia probably most of the beer is under 4% as an example.
I see that lights (bud, miller) is 4.2%. Not THAT much of a difference from most popular 5%. And again - there are plenty of lower beers in Europe.
So not sure how konrad was surprised about that
