Boston Beer Company, maker of the ubiquitous Sam Adams line of beers (not my personal fave, but to each his own) is releasing its $150 per bottle, 27% ABV Utopias—EXTREME BEERS! Note that one of my favorite brewers, Dogfish Head, is also mentioned in the article for its 22% offerings (which I would definitely try), and that the founder of Mothers Against Drunk Driving is okay with it, "as long as it isn't marketed to minors." Hey, kids: why buy 12 cases of Natural Light when you could be passing one of THESE back and forth between you, your buddy and your prom dates? Come on, MADD. Anyway, the process is interesting, and the fact that it's cask-aged for 20 years suggests why they can charge beaucoup bucks for it. If anyone out there has tried it, give a holler (and lend me a few bucks, old pal?). (Hat tip: Ashley Bowles)
