CTV News | Would you drink a $150 per bottle, 48 proof beer?

:shock: $150.00 per beer!
 
No I would not drink beer at all. I don't like it. And $150? Wow!
 
Can see paying that much for anything to drink. :roll:
 
Gonna pass that :P
 
you guys have never heard of the Utopias?

The difference between a normal beer and Utopias is the yeast strain they use.

The normal beer the microbreweries usually use is a "beer yeast" - typically the California ale yeast strain.

The Sam Adams brewers used a champagne yeast to achieve the high ABV. This is because the normal beer yeast strains would die at around 17% ABV.

Then they cask it.

Matter of a fact, I drank some Utopias last week.
 
If some people buy me one of that expensive beer. Sure. I couldn't afford to buy this beer that i need 150 bucks for something else that is more useful. eh.

I was talking to a buddy of mine about these the other day and I couldnt for the life of me remember "Utopias" !!

Any good?
 
I do mind! If someone purchasing it for me! :-x
 
I'll pass. I am not paying $150.00 for something that I will piss out 3 minutes later.:P
 
The most expensive beer that I have had is Samichlause Brown. I won a six-pack in a pokeer game. I think it was about $20 a six-pack. I think it is only made around Christmas time in limited quantities.
 
Beeeeeeeeeeeeer!

Beer with 32% strength launched
A controversial Scottish brewery has launched what it described as the world's strongest beer - with a 32% alcohol content.

Tactical Nuclear Penguin has been unveiled by BrewDog of Fraserburgh.

BrewDog was previously branded irresponsible for an 18.2% beer called Tokyo, which it then followed with a low alcohol beer called Nanny State.

Managing director James Watt said a limited supply of Tactical Nuclear Penguin would be sold for £30 each.

“ This is an extremely strong beer; it should be enjoyed in small servings and with an air of aristocratic nonchalance ”
Tactical Nuclear Penguin label warning
He said: "This beer is about pushing the boundaries, it is about taking innovation in beer to a whole new level."

Mr Watt added that a beer such as Tactical Nuclear Penguin should be drunk in "spirit sized measures".

A warning on the label states: "This is an extremely strong beer; it should be enjoyed in small servings and with an air of aristocratic nonchalance. In exactly the same manner that you would enjoy a fine whisky, a Frank Zappa album or a visit from a friendly yet anxious ghost."

However Jack Law, of Alcohol Focus Scotland, described it was a "cynical marketing ploy" and said: "We want to know why a brewer would produce a beer almost as strong as whisky."

The beer has been launched on the day alcohol was at the top of the political agenda with the unveiling of the Scottish government's Alcohol Bill including proposals for minimum pricing on drink.

Meanwhile, BrewDog's plans for a new headquarters to produce millions of bottles of beer a year have been approved by Aberdeenshire Council.

The decision was taken at a full council meeting despite having been recommended for refusal by officers because the site at Potterton, near Aberdeen, is in the green belt.
