Samuel Adams set to release its 2021 Utopias beer. At 28% ABV, it's illegal in 15 states

Sam Adams Utopias: The beer is so strong, it's illegal in 15 states.

After multiple batches are blended, they are aged in a total of 86 different barrels that previously held Madeira, port and sherry. For the first time, this year's Utopias had some of the blend aged in Sauternes French oak wine casks, which the brewery says adds"subtle notes of honeyed apricot and caramel."

Among the cherries used were Michigan Balaton cherries, which helped"create a rich flavor of black cherry and dark fruits," in the beer. ““Since the introduction of Utopias in 2002, brewers have explored uncharted territory with each brew, experimenting with different kinds of aging barrels, new flavors, and different blending techniques," said Jim Koch, founder and brewer of Samuel Adams, in a statement announcing the beer."The result is always special, spirited, and worth waiting for.”

Utopias is illegal in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Utah, Vermont and West Virginia.
