Saw this on History Channel's Modern Marvels focus on breweries.

Anybody tried it?

It sounds like Utopia if your Sam Adam’s accountant.

[JennysCool]

Sam, you made the price too big.

[SIDENET]

The Samuel Adams Utopias 2005 edition costs $100 per bottle

I bet it tastes like crap, but if someone wants to drop a Ben Franklin on it, be my guest.

[LibFreeOrDie]

The 2007 edition is $120-$140 a bottle, 27% alcohol by volume:

Do I remember correctly that Sam Adams is owned by the same company as Miller? (of Folsom Street Fair support fame...)

ping.

[PeteB570]

I saw it also.

The whole show had me licking my lips.

>> Anybody tried it?

Maybe it’s just me, but it doesn’t sound good. 25% alcohol is simply too high to make a tasty beer, IMHO.

$100 is DEFINITELY too high a price! (”...is that for a whole keg?”)

But if someone bought me a bottle, I’d willingly “sip” some.

Over the past twenty years, there has been a veritable race among brewers and vintners to higher alcohol content in beers and wines. Why? Have the nightly drunks been complaining about the excessive time between the snap-top can or the cork and their euphoric, stumbling enlightenment?
