"Those determined brewers at Dogfish Head "recreated" this elixir--a mixture of wine, beer and honey--and got their very own Midas Touch Golden Elixir. The taste is rife with fruity notes and is served best in a clute or sniffer."

Hmmm... sounds nice.

"Bilk. What do you think that means? If you guessed beer + milk...then you're right! Oh yes, a Japanese liquor store owner has fused beer with milk to make Bilk. What a name, right? The mix is roughly 30% milk and 70% beer"

Dunno about that one.


"This is easily the ballsiest beer on our list because of one simple fact: It has a 24% ABV, which rivals some liqueurs. Not carbonated and meant to be served at room temperature, Utopia is part of the Samual Adams Extreme Beer collection"

If something is 24% ABV and not carbonated, can you really still call it a beer?

i had to search the sam adams one
http://www.samueladams.com/world_of_beer.aspx
under beeer styles and extreme beers they have:

triple bock... 18% ABV
Utopia... 25% ABV
millenium... 20%

!! bloody hell !!

this cracks me up:

Due to legal restrictions, Samuel Adams Utopias(tm) can not be sold in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Washington, and West Virginia

Damm straight, the stuff is much more dangerous than a postal worker with an AK47.

I think that you will find something like 18 out of the 20 strongest beers in th eworld are all from the US, and none of em are under 16%. I know a friend that has had Utopias and thought it was excellent. Mind you, at $USD125 for a 12oz bottle (330mL odd), it had wanna be! In response to the "can you call it beer" question. My mate said the closest thing he could compare it to is tokay, though it is still different to that. I guess they can call it beer cause it is made from malt (and alot of dextrose incrementally fed), boiled with hops, and fermented with Saccharomyces. Not what one would usually call beer, but still beer by definition.
All the best

EDIT - I am fairly sure that the reason it cannot be sold in those states, is that they have alcohol restrictions on stuff called beer, as in it cant be sold if over a certain %age. I know that north carolina recently lifted its "cap" from 6% to 15%, hence why it is still on the Banned list - as the beer is 25%. T.
