I saw it online as well as the prices but some of the websites look sketchy as hell. I didn't want to hand out my info to some unsecured webpage that's hosted god knows where. I'd rather deal with a local vendor.

you won't get it anywhere. It's very limited in selling. Best shot is on ebay or something. Honestly man it isn't worth it. Why exactly do you want it?

I know but I figured it was worth a shot to ask and see if anyone had any luck.

Same reason people get other expensive shite...to say they have it But really, I'm getting married this year and I thought it would be cool to bring on the bachelor party or drink some with a cigar before the big day.

If you do find the Utopias, save them for a day that you'll be able to relax. The day before you buy the farm, you're gonna need mass quantities.

I could give you about 20 different things to buy that would be less than $400 combined.

Is that the Utopia?? I don't think it is.

I think the Tactical Nuclear Penguin is at 32% ABV. Specs in Downtown Houston has some bottles at around $90 a piece.

Utopias isn't even top 5 anymore I don't think. There's one called "Start The Future" from some brewery in Holland that's 60%

And I think Calandro's has some Sink The Bismark and Tactical Nuclear Penguin for about $100 each.

I bought a bottle of Utopias in 2009 for my son's birth, which just happened to be a week before the Saints Superbowl, so we opened it at halftime of the game. Delicious stuff!

I was told by the local Sam Adams distributer that the REGIONAL manager decided to NOT bring any Utopias to Louisiana. Closest state to us to get any was Florida. I bought my bottle off eBay for $275.

I also ordered two bottles of Tactical Nuclear Penguin directly from Brewdog off their website. Cost me $150 including currency exchange and shipping from Scotland.

Some of the nastiest beer I've ever tasted. Took one swig from one bottle and gave the rest to my Brother in Law. Sold the 2nd bottle for $50 to a TD Member who works(ed) at Calandro's.

Here's my thread from when I got the "Penguin" back in April'10 (Pictures were removed from Imageshack for some reason )

Here's my bottle of Utopias snuggled between a couple bottles of XR.

Stein's has a bottle. The cove has at least one bottle, but I'm sure the price is heavily inflated.

Crown Royal XR. What a marketing gimmick.

So the Utopias was good stuff?

I might have to head down to the cove to try a taste. Maybe I'll ask where they get there's from.

$400 for a taste? They order theirs via their distributors specially. It's really just a novelty.

I was under the impression that they have a bottle and they sell by the glass.
