Sam Adams Utopia : utter crap and hella overpriced

~~~


18-23% abv

Heaven in a bottle & about $8.00 retail/12 oz.

Dag..that ChiTown pizza beer is getting alot of press. Must make pilgrimage.

I thought the headline read bizzare bears.

Anyway, I havent had any of these fine beverages. :(

1) BEER FOR DOGS ~ My own dogs love regular beer. And by 'regular' I mean craft beer

3) BILK ~ The Japanese have been fermenting milk for a while ~ almost like a liquid cheese. Milk Stouts originally had milk added for sweetness, as yeast cannot metabolize lactose.

5) CHAMPAGNE BEER ~ Malt + fruit juice = nothing new

8) VITAMIN ENHANCED BEER ~ Bottle condition; drink the yeast. Case solved.

9) OPEN SOURCE BEER ~ Not the 1st people to do it, but still cool nonetheless.

10) See my comments at the top of the thread (boobies)

Glad to see Bacon Beer hasn't made the list. Almost done brewing it.

Beer + Milk = Bilk

Nasty. Just nast-
OMG, I think I'm going to hurl!!

Will it get me drunk?

Will it have me farking fat chicks in no time?

No?

Pass.

Drunken chihuahuas... so much tastier for the coyotes.

again?

The author of this article obviously never had a Frothingslosh.

No Skittlebrau. WTF? No BUZZ Beer? Drew is not happy.

rocinante721 covered what I was going to say. And that Dogfish Head is a wonderful thing. But for my money, nothing can touch the Dreadnaught IPA from Three Floyds brewing company.

beer in glass containers!
what will they think of next?

/as a strict traditionalist I'll stay with beer in cans
//the way God intended

Left Hand Brewery Makes a damn fine milk stout.


and there is a bizarre amount of awesomeness that goes into crafting Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA.

"The idea came from the son of a liquor store who is in the dairy farm industry."

What?

Carbonatedpizza

I still have the 1st bottling of Dogfish W.W.Stout conditioning in my cellar.

See my posts in the earlier MAIN PAGE beer thread.

... also lived in the Midwest. 3Floyds is great. Get their RABID RABBIT. They do to witbier with spicing what they do to IPAs w/ DREADNAUGHT

Mmmmmm Pizza Beer aka puke.

I saw a pumpkin pie ale a couple years ago.

/would you put whipped cream on it?

I've been drinking some of Minnesota's finest, Grain Belt Premium, in my back yard while watching hot rods drive up and down the street for Minnesota Street Rod Back to the 50s thing. It has been working just fine for me tonight.

Generally a beer snob, Stone, Rogue, Pizza Port...

Beer + dog don't mix. One beer for me is equivalent to 40 beers for a little mexican dog, and about 2 beers for my doberman. Don't kill your dogs.

/I miss San Diego
//MLPS, still needs more craft brew.
///pissed.

ROCINATE721- I love the 60min, 90min and the mason d'etre awesome beer

one of the weirdest beers i had was "Green Chile beer" it was ok for 2 sips then i needed a real beer to douse the fire.

/new mexicans love their green chile

rocinante721 Yeah, Rabit Rabbit is amazing, too, I've had that a few times.

Oh damnit, now I'm thirsty.

whoops chili, chili

Ah yes, Grain Belt Primo. Pride of the north. Drinking it right now in the Minneapple. Claudia Chafer, I salute you.

/Yo, they make it in cans!
//found that out last week.

True beer fans will agree that a Groblingers is the ultimate among great-tasting micro-brews. Only wasted, uneducated palates will find it otherwise.

On the other side of the coin, I've discovered that the relatively new Kinchloch MasterBrau is second to none. This brew is especially tasty after a ride on the bike paths. A really smooth, mellow flavor.

Woo beer thread!!

Dogfish Head = freaking awesome.

My favorite import:


My favorite local:
Keegan Ales' Mother's Milk

Keep it simple and tasty. Coors light, Miller genuine draft, and Bud light, all in cans
/pfff beer snobs

inner taxiway perpendicular to us

Yeah, I gushed....

hugheric

you mean RAISIN d'etre....and yes, it is awesome. also victory brewing co. makes a few good ones, hop devil and golden monkey (close to 10% alcohol yet delicious) are two of my faves

I remember in college, drinking a whiskey infused beer in France that tasted like rotten bologna. The sad thing was, having to save money to spend time in Europe, I knew exactly what rotten bologna tasted like.

a french boilermaker? hmmm

Claudia Chafer: Pizza Port

I live near Pizza Port :)

The Kidsbeer label captures a nostalgic mood as it was modeled after classic beer labels. "Even kids cannot stand life unless they have a drink," reads the product's advertising slogan.

beer + milk = bilf?
how about:

bilf + milf = jilf (Japanese I'd Love to ...)

Adelscott is the name of that crap. And they use undistilled wiskey as sugar during the second fermentation. There are other ones and ther are all disgusting.

AS to not killing your dogs, FTFA: the beer is non alcoholic. Yes, we know plenty of dog owners who think a little beer won't hurt their precious, I've also heard of aunts and uncles giving toddlers gin. :P

I saw the son of a liquor store too that was funny.

With the beer that has vitamins, there is no mention of country of origin, but we can be sure its the good old freedom States of 'MERICA. "Don't put vitamins on the label, people will be morans enough to think it might make the healthy!!"

The funniest by far has to be the Kids beer, something we will also not see in our nanny states.
"Even kids cannot stand life unless they have a drink," reads the product's advertising slogan.

So true, thats why they huff gas and paint thinner.

Milk beer..... Bilk.

Mmmmurp.

I drank a bottle of that on a bet, hot stuff.

MusicMakeMyHeadPound

KEEGAN's is fantastic. Been there a couple times, driving up when I go home in Westchester

tenjed77 - I couldn't remember the name of that crap and as soon as I saw it I spit. I give you a gold star and if we ever meet I'll buy you a adelscott... and then a pabst blue ribbon...maybe a pearl and a nat light...or/and a hamms and a iron city.

Dusseldorf's Uerige beer, one of the world's finest, is now releasing new bottles with a braille label.

The is nothing bizarre about that at all! Why does the author hate blind people?

NYRBill

yeah i think it was made by "El Paso Breweries" or something. i also finished the bottle but it took about 2-3 "basic" beers inbetween

BLITZY- Oh yeah my bad(half way thru a 12 pack of much cheaper beer) The Victory Storm King is pretty sweet

So true... so true.

I remember when I was a kid I'd come home from a long day at school & settle in with a drink and Mr. Rogers Neighbourhood. The booze had me halfway to forgetting Mr. McFeely's terrifying speedy deliveries. Having to walk a straight hopscotch square by the playground sobriety police was no walk in the park, though... and my friends are still teasing me 17 years for accepting that "playdate" with Dwayne. Thanks for nothing beer goggles!

I thought Miller High Life had been making the champagne beer for years....

/Oh, the champagne of beers
//Kinda like Assistant to the Regional Manager
