Utopias is a true community effort. Our head brewers want it to pass through every Sam Adams brewery. We brew, age, and blend in various locations across the country, before a time-intensive hand-bottling process where we personally make sure each bottle of Utopias is given special attention.
Yeast: exhilarating right? We agree, and it gets pretty radical when it comes to Utopias. We use multiple yeast strains to make this beer, which is rare in brewing. Utopias is our craft maverick, brewed for the adventurous drinkers who need a premium craft beer experience. We spare not time, expense, or effort to create the most renowned and sought-after extreme beer you can get. Each Utopias we explore uncharted territory with new blending techniques. And each new Utopias blend is made from an array of earlier years, some of the extreme beers already aged up-to 30 years.
We finish the blend in still another variety casks that deepen the final flavor. This beer is just as special to all of us at Sam Adams as to you. Since Utopias was first released, each ceramic bottle gets a number on the bottom that corresponds with the order in which they were hired. Founder and Brewer Jim Koch gets bottle number 1, of course.
Utopias drinks like no other beer on the planet. Serve at room temperature and an ounce or two of this ruby-black liquid into Utopias glass or brandy snifter. Sip, savor, appreciate. We like Utopias with dishes like clam chowder, a really nice steak, and desserts like pineapple upside-down cake. It follows celebration meals especially well. Utopias is a big beer.

The batch of Utopias has been finished on 2, pounds of cherries, bringing a tart twist. Utopias beer was introduced to the market back in , although the idea for them came earlier.

The result is always special, spirited, and worth waiting for. The latest Utopias is a combination of several batches of what the brewer calls its "extreme beers," including some that have been aged in bourbon casks for almost 30 years. The blend was aged in a total of 86 different barrels, including some that were previously used for Carcavelos, Madeira, Ruby Port, Sherry Oloroso, and sweet Sauternes wine barrels.
On top of that, it was finished with literally a ton of black cherries, which brought both sweetness and tartness to the brew. The final product is said to have a "rich flavor of black cherry and dark fruits, with hints of maple and vanilla.
