NEW YORK -- A hundred bucks might seem cheap for a bit of utopia.

But in this case, Utopia is a beer brewed by the Samuel Adams company. It sells for $100 a bottle.

Earlier this week, beer lovers got a chance to sample the high-brow brew at the Hop Devil Grill in New York City. Shot-sized servings were included as part of a $40-a-head beer lover's four-course dinner.

This is a brew to sip not swill. Some of the patrons say Utopia is closer to cognac or whiskey than to beer. The bar bought four bottles of the pricey, 50-proof brew.

3. I think we should take up a collection in the Lounge....

If we raise $100, I volunteer to sample Utopia, and if it proves satisfactory....then I'll let you guys have a taste.

However, if it proves unsatisfactory, I will have no other choice, than to drink the entire bottle myself.

Howboutit?
