Sudsy Wants You to Join the Oregon Commentator
 

The Oregon Commentator Approves This Development; Can’t Afford It

Sam Adams has come out with a beer, “Utopia“, boasting 25% alcohol content by volume:

Marketed as an ideal after-dinner tipple, the strong, rich, dark drink is not carbonated and features four types of hops which give it an earthy, spicy, herbal taste… [S]moked malts add an amber color, and a variety of yeast were used during fermentation, including the same yeast used in champagne. As a result, the slightly fruity brew has a sweet, malty flavor that resembles the deep, rich grape taste of a vintage Port, fine Cognac, or old Sherry.

Alas, it’s $300 a bottle. Anyone want to buy 30 or so Sudsy shirts so the Commentator staff can pay for a bottle?
