Hey guys,
I've just returned after a few weeks out of town to find out that we were able to get a few bottles of the 2003 Sam Adams Utopias (25% abv) at Premier. We could only get 4 bottles total - so I wanted to let you know, in case anyone wants to pool their pennies together. The price is $175 U.S. per bottle. Actually - I don't know if "bottle" is the right word - they look like little brass/ceramic brewhouse tanks, complete with a sliding door in the side, etc.
Anyway - we're trying, but I don't think we'll be able to get any more, and I think one of them (at least) is already spoken for. So, if you are interested, call Josh at Premier (toll free 877-PREM123, or 716-877-3574) ASAP to reserve. Cheers

Damn I would have taken all four :sad:

Seriously, if anyone else is interested I'm in.

I'd like to let it age at least until the fall though.

Joe.

The Utopias ended up costing us less than we expected, so the retail is now $140US. I know - its still an obscene amount of money for a bottle of beer. I just thought I'd mention it in case anyone is interested...

Just stopped by PG last weekend and saw one of the three remaining Utopias. Beautiful bottle. I would be interested in splitting one, and at 22oz (I believe) this could be split fairly easily. Problem is, who would get the bottle?
