I thought it was max one per customer?
I don’t care what the U.N. says, I don’t recognize countries that don’t produce beer.

LOL was wondering how you kids made out with the Utopias. Good stuff.

I got to sleep in late today, so I said ahh forget it this time. Maybe next year? I'm sure I'll try it eventually, that's all that matters. Glad to hear BT founder Cass scored this long-sought collectible (the bottle is pretty cool.)

Better luck next year AJ. Although some bars may be selling it by the oz. (Why not turn $115 into $800.)

A guy in the brewing course at niagara got one bottle. He is kind enough to split it among class mates for $5 a 1oz pour.

Got my bottle today - quite impressive to behold. Initially told it would take 3-6 weeks.

I'm a little confused about one thing, though: the note affixed to the bottle makes reference to a specially designed glass for the beer yet does not give any particulars about its attributes or where to get it. It almost seems like it was to be packaged with the bottle. No biggie, though: I'm just going to chug right from the bottle...

Did they call to tell you it was ready to pick up?

Dont hate the playah, hate the game! :)

He DID pay 230$ + for what is half-as-tasty, and half-as-strong as a whiskey. Helps me sleep at night :)

I think some sales (in the States, not sure about here) included an offer to get the glass as referenced below. Don't know if we can get it up in Cda.

I know with last year's lottery, winners could get the glass by sending away for it, not sure if that applies this year

Yup - got a call on Friday that it was in at the 'BO that I had specified.

And thanks for the link to the glass - mystery solved.

What do you mean sending away for it. I got two bottles and a close friend also got a bottle we never looked into getting the glasses. Do you think we could still?
