Samuel Adams Utopias

I happened to be in BevMo yesterday and came across this beer by Sam Adams. Aged for at least 16 years and has an alcohol content of 27%. But wait, there's more.... a single bottle is $150.
Has anyone tried it?

I remember many years ago in Paris I had a bottle of beer called Diablo which they claimed had the highest alcohol content at 15%. It was quite potent

Let me do the math here: $150/$16.00 = 9.375 cases of beer x 24 bottles = 225 long neck bottles of Miller Lite vice 1 bottle of very expensive beer. Uh, no, I haven't tried it.

LOL! Too funny and I agree (although I'd skip the Miller Lite and make it MDG)!

And Steve...I'll try it if you send me one!

They probably have a thread on the beer forum titled "How Much Is Too Much" with members bitching about the price, questioning folks who buy such expensive beer and debating what beer measurments correspond to beer quality ;)

Steve-I read about this when it first came out. This is not a beer you pour into a mug and drink like a regular beer. It is quite a different animal. It's just not something I would spend $150 on.

It should come with a lap dance or two.

A case for Double Blind Tasting aka DBT :)

I thought the thread was about JM Lab Utopia speakers ...

It came with 3, but they didn't last as long as the bottle, about 3 yrs.

How was the beer and lap dance synergy? ;)

A waste of money if you ask me.

Cheers!
