Ice Distillation... Beer or Spirit?

I'm also gonna take a minute and talk about some beer. In specific, BrewDog's Tactical Nuclear Penguin, and Sink the Bismarck! or Sam Adam's Utopia. In recent, there has been great debate in the brewing industry about high proof beers, 18% ABV and upwards. More specifically those that have been frozen and water removed concentrating the alcohol in a process called Ice Distillation. This process brings one question to light...whether they should be classified as a spirit or a beer. It's interesting when a beer is no longer meets the modern definition of beer... How things change.
