Because all kids are looking for a $150 bottle of beer
A pro-beer (or at least, not anti-beer) article includes this quote:
The maker of Samuel Adams beer has released an updated version of its biennial beer Utopias – now the highest alcohol content beer on the market. At 27 percent alcohol by volume and $150 a bottle, the limited release of the brandy-colored Utopias comes as more brewers take advantage of improvements in science to boost potency and enhance taste.
They turn to MADD for balance:
Chuck Hurley, CEO of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, said the group in general doesn’t have a problem with extreme brands of beer like Utopias. However, he hopes the beverage’s higher alcohol content is properly labeled and that it isn’t marketed to minors.
