It's okay. A lot of therapy and two bottles of 2007 Aventinus Eisbock have helped me to move past it.

Looks like the Samuel Adams Infinium has been asigned a number but no info on when and how much.

Mixed reviews on this one on BA and RB, either they love it or hate it.

Nothing on Noble Pils yet.

People love to shit on Sam Adams. Probably because people see them as the "big guy" and this is natural (DFH gets it too) I think Sam Adams makes a solid line up with far more hits than misses, I cant wait to try Infinium.

There is no doubt that they make good stuff. The founder seems to be about as passionate about good beer than anyone else I can think of. They just make a lot of it. Plus, they take chances by making weird shit like root beer beer.

For anyone who won, I've been informed that you can can get a signature Utopias glass from Sam Adams with a letter from Jim Koch (at no cost). All they need is your address.

You can send your mailing info to: exports@bostonbeer.com

They've only got enough for the winners, so please only email if you won. They'll check.

Sorry, I forgot to include the number for the Infinium:

Samuel Adams Infinium #227660 (nothing showing yet)

Utopias tasting notes in today's Star in What does a $115 bottle of beer taste like?. Also video.

Gotta love the cognac guy (this may only be in the print edition) who entered the lottery on a whim and admits to not being fond of beer. Though he does occasionally drink Guinness.

Ditto Magic Hat, Goose Island and Sierra Nevada in my experiences.

With all due respect, Magic Hat should not even be mentioned in the same breath as SN or GI. They aren't int he same league. Period.

Spoke to the guy who runs Village Beer in Buffalo, and he told us it was crap even though he still had it for sale. Sounds like a love it or hate it kind of beer. The price point is going to be high too...

Here's the latest on the Infinium release.

200 cases and yet only 16 stores get the product. Ridiculous.

Weird. Isn't Guelph like the armpit of Ontario? or is that Toronto? Naw, that is the ass crack.
Being the left ankle, London gets one which is good I guess.
