Most Expensive and Most .... Alcoholy

Watching James May Drinks Britain, which has grown on me after 3 episodes, I have to admit it, Oz and James in their little caravan trip focused on two beers that I probably will never, ever have.

First was from Boston Brewing Company, called Utopia. It is listed as the beer with the highest ABV on the market at 27%. It is banned in 13 states, and costs $150.00 a bottle.

Up until this point, Boston Brewing Company (makers of Sam Adams) and Dogfish out of Delaware were battling one another for the title of highest ABV, and so far BBC keeps the title, Dogfish won't be trying to beat that amount.

Second was from Carlsberg in Denmark, and is called the Jacobsen Vintage No. 1. It takes the title of most expensive beer in the world.

The bottle itself is pretty much over $100 of the cost due to the beautiful custom artwork and the material it is made with. It is 21% ABV, and is only available (if you can find it) in Denmark.

Ponder these things over your next locally craft brewed treat.
