Samuel Adams Utopias is the world's most expensive beer in regular
production, costing about USD 100 in the US. In Sweden the government
alcohol monopoly takes in a few bottles every time it's produced, and
a friend managed to get hold of a bottle from a pub in Gothenburg. It
cost about USD 300 there, though, so he wisely decided to split the
bottle with others. In the end we were eight beer enthusiasts who
gathered in a flat in Oslo to try it. And, of course, since we were
getting together anyway, we brought a few more beers to try at the
same time.
