50 proof? Cool.
100 bucks? Screw that.

Sam Adams sucks nads.

Damn. I was looking forward to this but there's no way in hell I'm paying $100 for any single bottle of booze.

EvilEgg

Stuff sounds nasty. I would probably try it anyway if I wasn't paying.

What he said.

Sam Adams is total schwag. I cannot stand that nasty bitter micro brew aftertaste. I know SA isn't a microbrew anymore.

AirForceVet: Hope it's better than England's Old Tom and Old Peculiar brews at that price.

Hope I get blown by a tavern wench at that price

I'd never pay $100 for any one bottle of Sam Adams. Never ever never.

tonkin: Hope I get blown by a tavern wench at that price.

the_sidewinder: I can almost garantee that you will be drunk after one bottle.

For $100, I'd better get drunk and blown by the tavern wench.

I better get drunk all night.
As Sam jackson says.
"You'll be farking fat girtls in no time!"

I will take a rapscallion Blessing over anything that costs 100 bucks a beer.
I have seen their limited edition brews sit on shelves for months...coming up with new beers should be left to the brewmasters, not marketing guys.

Feh. You want a near 50 proof bear that tastes good? Stick with Dogfish Head.

Sam Adams sucks monkey balls. And never, ever, ever try their triple bock. I like maple syrup as an ingredient for beer just fine. But the beer should be flavored with it, not the other way around.

Just plain nasty.

Feh. You want a near 50 proof bear that tastes good? Stick with Dogfish Head.


Indeed...I took a case of their 90 minute IPA camping last weekend...my friend asked me if 90 minutes was how long it took to drink it...after three I realized he was onto something. After 5 I was nearly incoherent. I realized he was might be onto something.

I really have fallen for the 9% brews...Dog fish, and victory hop devil are pretty great, if you like the IPAs.

Didn't their Millenium beer go for about the same?

Just what we need, overpriced yuppie designer brews.

Thats like, a whole lotta bottles of mums

More proof of how Boston real estate prices are out of control.

This has been served at Alternative Brews in the Buffalo/Amherst area Western New York for years. You can get a shot of it for $10 if you don't want to spring for the whole bottle. It's a great little bar for those in the region... Also one of the only bars in Erie County where you can still smoke.

50 proof brew, can we say drunky mcnasty! But really, why?

Gawd.

That's right up there with those coffee beans that sell for around $1,200 for 1/4 pound (meintheassjesusthat'sexpensive) 'cause it was shat out by some exotic cat.

/had a glass of wine from a $400/bottle
//couldn't taste the difference between that and Yellowtail

Pfft. Here in New York City we've been paying $100 a bottle for YEARS. Lousy trendy bars...

Dogfish Head already sells 12 oz. bottles of their 120 minute IPA for about $30. That's a far cry from $100, but still pretty damn pricey. I'll buy single malt scotch if I'm going to spend that much. However, I am willing to spend good money on their 90 minute IPA. tallmonkey the fact that you were able to put down five is somewhat incomprehensible to me.

Hmmm, considering I can get a pretty good Scotch for about $28.00 a fifth, I think I'll pass. Not to mention, I dont like Sam Adams regular beer anyway.

In honor of this thread, I'm going to leave early from work, buy a case of cheap beer (Bud or Yeungling- I'll decide at the moment) and drink as many of them while playing WoW as I can before passing out.

/saving money for Vegas
//kinda stupid to save money now so I can piss it away in a couple weeks but screw it

I had a Fantome once that was 5 years old and had aged in the bottle beautifully. I swear it had notes of cheese in it.

That was $25. I don't know about $100.

but...but... it comes in a cool copper bottle!

/stone brew out of so cal... yummy
//arrogant bastard

...or I could get 15 75cl bottles of Chimay Bleu for that price, get 10x as drunk, and it won't taste like arse.

/not knocking SA, but there's gotta be a limit to how strong a beer can be
//is sure that 25% exceeds that amount.
///you can pry my Belgian ales and German hefe-weisses from my cold, trembling hands.

From the Sam Adams website section called, "extreme beers" describing Utopias.

Truly the epitome of brewing's two thousand year evolution, Samuel Adams Utopias offers a flavor not just unlike any other beer but unlike any other beverage in the world. Its warm, sweet flavor is richly highlighted with hints of vanilla, oak and caramel. Our 2003 batch topped out at a record breaking 25% ABV, beating the records that Samuel Adams Triple Bock and Samuel Adams Millennium had set before it. And like those groundbreaking brews, Samuel Adams Utopias is not carbonated and should be served at room temperature. In one of many examples where Samuel Adams Utopias pushed the boundaries of beer, it received the highest recommendation (96-100 points) from the prestigious Wine Enthusiast Magazine (November, 2003 edition).

I work at a bar and my Sam Adams sales rep came in with a bottle of this one day, and I thought he was going to wet himself. It's pretty good stuff, and I guess it technically is still beer, but it really reminds me of a good cognac instead. Furthermore, my rep told me about the special strain of highly tolerant "Ninja Yeast" that they use for fermentation.

/won't buy it though
//won't buy $100 bottle of cognac either

not new, Sam Adams has been brewing Utopia for a while now

Oh and BTW the only way I am paying $100 for a beer is if it's served to me on the back of Monica Belluci's naked ass.


It probably tastes like it came out of somebody's ass, if that's any consolation.

I work for a beer dist. and have tried this. I was given roughly 3 ounces and it really had a good taste. Sam Adams has some good beer, their Winter Lager is great. However, $100 a bottle, I better get something more than beer.

Warsteiner Dunkel still gets me vote! Maybe Hacker Pschorr is a close 2nd.

I'll try any beer once.

I'll try any beer once if somebody else is paying. $100? I don't care if it's 50 proof, I can get a bottle of rum for $12 and have it last me a week instead of a $100 beer that will probably last me an hour.
