BOSTON (CBS) — Sam Adams is adding even more “spirit” to its brew. The 12th edition of Samuel Adams Utopia has 28% alcohol by volume – so strong that it’s illegal in 15 states, including New Hampshire.
The beer is legal in Massachusetts, where bottles can be found at select specialty liquor stores at a suggested retail price of $240 starting on Oct. 11.

Baker County.
it’s all about the decanter it is sold in anyway.

I don’t drink at all anymore. We used to do power hour.
Some people like it.
The story goes that way back in time, a brewery run by some monks was burned down and the malt was burned but not destroyed. they used it anyway and the result was ‘rauchbier’..............

Piss is not profanity, but you now have drawn more attention to it, good job.
Thanks Karen.
I would tolerate a Sam Adams to make my brother happy when visiting. But I stopped drinking the swill altogether when they started the ads with that obnoxious Boston kid. Very juvenile...
obnoxious Boston kid?
A Kennedy?...........................

Any one who makes anything pumpkin flavored should be charged with crimes against humanity. And, yes, that includes pumpkin pie which is only useful as pie to be covered in whipped cream and thrown at the person who baked it.
Pumpkin itself has no flavor…it’s the spices and sugar you are tasting
His character is a very poor ripoff of Adam Sadler in Happy Gilmore......
Bill Burr is hilarious.
“ I think we tried to buy a six-pack of the first “Utopia” beer they made - the cashier said $199 - I heard $1.99. Naw - you can put that back...”
Utopia comes in a single bottle like bourbon and is non carbonated and poured and enjoined like bourbon, not even served cold.
Prohibition isn’t quite dead in the US and many states have laws on the books that haven’t changed since the end of Prohibition when states still tried to control drinking. Minnesota for example is the only state to still have “3.2 beer” laws. Beer with no more than 3.2% alcohol by weight is an arcane standard (the alcoholic beverage industry has long since gone to ABV…alcohol by volume as the standard for alcohol content) for low alcohol post Prohibition beer that was supposed to be less intoxicating.
Many states allowed less restrictive sales of 3.2 beer which could be purchased in places like gas stations and grocery stores rather than licensed liquor stores and even sold on Sunday. A few states even had a lower drinking age for 3.2 beer … back in the day I was able to legally purchase 3.2 beer at age 19. Slowly states have repealed these laws leaving only Minnesota still stubbornly clinging to 3.2 beer. Ironically Utopia will be available in Minnesota albeit only in highly regulated liquor stores.

Many place here in The South still have ‘Wet’ and ‘Dry’ counties.......................
It was an awakening - it was funny at the time. you are right - a six-pack was NOT to be consumed casually!
