Changing the focus to beers with high(er) ABVs, dry-hopped beer types such as Belgian Style Triple or Double IPA (partly with 10.0 % ABV and above) have been established on the market for many years. *They indicate a boundary of the alcohol range of beer, not only as speciality beers [3].* Hence, dry hopping is a technique used for many beer categories with varying ABVs.
Can anyone explain the meaning of the sentence that I marked? The author is Italian.
ABV is alcohol by volume. The source text also has a spelling error, the correct spelling is Rripel.
TIA

Generally, most beers have an alcohol content range from 4-6% ABV (alcohol by volume). However, some light beers might have as low as 2.5%, while some craft beers can reach up to 15 or 20% ABV. Some stronger variants such as malt liquor usually have an alcohol content of 6-10% ABV, while a typical wine has around 12-14%. - https://www.bing.com/search?q=boundary of the alcohol range ...

Discussion
Also, BTW, have not suggested that triple is 'triple strength' - only that it has 3 times the quantity of hops compared to 'single' IPA.
The ABV of your 'Tripel Karmeliet' is 8.5, which is comparable to the 9.2 ABV of the English 'St Mars of the Desert' triple in my link, and those ABVs are only about twice the ABV of 'single' beers (IPA), most of which have ABV below around 5.5.
Anyway it's not really correct as the alcohol content range of tripel beers is somewhat below that of quadrupel beers. So ... (spellings are correct as these are Flemish/Dutch words)

IOW, I think 'boundary' is the wrong word - 'range' or 'category' would be better.
The role of dry-hopping in this context is that the ABV can be 'manipulated' so that what is basically the same product can end up as 'double' or 'triple', according to market requirements.
Lastly, contrary to Asker's statement: the correct spelling is Rripel, the correct term is indeed 'Triple' (as contrasted with 'Double').
This would at least make sense: a "limiting value", as 10% ABV is pretty high for beer, I've never personally come across anything higher (or not remembered it if I have).
