Quote:'Extreme' Beer Sells At Champagne Prices
Are you ready for a $300 bottle of brew?
Extreme beer is going for cognac prices in specialty stores and on eBay. It's the latest rage on the fringe of the craft-brewing movement.
The Wall Street Journal reports the Utopias brand of extreme beer is made by Boston Brewing, the company behind Sam Adams.
At 24-percent alcohol, Utopias is also one of the strongest beers ever brewed.
While most beer is best consumed fresh, the extreme brews are meant to be aged. Jim Koch, Boston Brewing's founder and president, says they've even made a beer they call Millennium Three. It's specially bottled to last until the year 3000.
Finally a beer I can get a buzz off of after one bottle!!!
