Potent Beer

Yummy.

It is banned in 13 states and sure doesn’t come in a six-pack.

The maker of Samuel Adams beer has released an updated version of its biennial beer Utopias — now the highest alcohol content beer on the market. At 27 percent alcohol by volume and $150 a bottle, the limited release of the brandy-colored Utopias comes as more brewers take advantage of improvements in science to boost potency and enhance taste.

“Just part of trying to push the envelope,” said Jim Koch, founder and owner of the Boston Beer Co. the maker of Sam Adams. “I’m pushing it beyond what the laws of these 13 states ever contemplated when they passed those laws decades ago.”

1. Utopias is super-delish and an excellent warmer-upper in the winter.

   Unfortunately, my current financial situation does not allow purchase.  Thanks, Big Gummint!

2. If it is $150 a bottle, it just ain’t beer.

3. Sam Adams has another type that I found at a Piggly Wiggly in Oconomowoc. It was $12 for a 4-pack, but it was 13% alcohol and it was smooth as butter. I wish I remember what it was called.

4. I can’t personally afford buying such beer anyway!
   It’s a silly idea!
