Boston Brew Company, maker of Sam Adams has produced yet another beer that we in Utah cannot enjoy. A “traditionally” brewed beer based on grain fermentation, this new beer is called Utopias. Aged for 15 years in oak barrels much like a distilled liquor this new heavy beer will sell for $150 per bottle, but is banned in 13 states including Utah. Not surprisingly, some states are taking steps to modify law to allow high alcohol beers, as a trend seems to be growing in this market for breweries.
So, if you find yourself on the east coast some time and want to try a beer that I’m sure you won’t soon forget, try Utopias… and let me know how it is.

Is this different from the Sam Adams Utopia that has been out for years?
Ah oops... Utopias has been in SLC for the last three years and is currently available at the 300 east wine store in SLC for $210.00 a bottle.
Cheers
I wish I could say that I was just trying to see if people were paying attention, but alas, I was just misinformed. Thanks for the corrections.
Mikey, have you tried this before? I guess I should go out and buy a bottle as reparations to Boston Brew Co.
I've tried it before, and didn't really care for it.
I just looked on the UDABC list of beer again and it wasn’t there. I failed to look at the special order list however, and that is where it is. Again, apologies.
Also, the most expensive thing on the UDABC special order list (per ML)???
A bottle of Courvoisier Cognac for $5394.79
Utopias is more like Port Wine than beer. I'd never waist my money on a bottle. It's a novelty pure and simple.
But if you want to try it. Your best option is the Bayou. They won't sell it to you unless you have a party of five or more.
This at least minimizes the cost of their $270 a bottle asking price. Best of Luck.
Cheers!
