Here you see the process. It's not explosion - red = hot booze vapors. However it looks like an "explosion" while actually it's steam. But it's very hot and can damage/set on fire creatures easily.

So rather like what would happen if you really set booze on fire that was high proof...

You don't really get an explosion without a pre-mixed fuel/air solution in the area, at best the barrel catches alight, spills the hooch, and causes a blaze.

Which seems to be effectively what happens, a big fire and lots of really harmful hot gas. It's still pretty easy to weaponize that effect, too.

A small group of dwarfs boozing together in a stockpile should give you the proper air/fuel mix.
