So you've decided to go and enjoy an expensive prix fixe dinner but need the perfect drink to get wasted on afterwards? Who wants wine when you can enjoy a $150 bottle of Sam Adams with a 27 percent ABV?
Available later this month, the latest Utopias craft beer from the Boston-based brewery is a "strong, rich, uncarbonated dark beer" that is "meant to be savored like vintage fortified wine or fine cognac" at room temperature in a snifter.
The first time that Sam Adams released a Utopias beer, back in 2002, it won the title of world's 'strongest beer commercially available' in the Guinness Book of World Records. Since then it has been surpassed by a number of other brews but considering that the average beer has an ABV of about 5 percent, the alcohol content of the latest Utopia is nothing to sneeze at.
So where can you find one to drink, or better yet someone buying one to laugh at? The new Utopias are sold only in the company's special ceramic decanters for $150 and can be found online here. Unfortunately at the moment the only retail operations selling the brew are in New Jersey. Road trip? [Via Eater]
