Samuel Adams Utopias is back in Cincinnati: How to try the 28% ABV beer

The Samuel Adams beer with an alcohol by volume percentage so high making it illegal in multiple states will be available this weekend for beer enthusiasts to try.

Sam Adam's Utopias beer is back in the Cincinnati taproom this Saturday and Sunday. The beer, which comes in at 28% ABV, is illegal in 15 states.

You'll need a ticket to try Utopias at the Sam Adams Taproom in Cincinnati, which cost $15 and allows a 1.5-ounce pour, according to the website. Tickets are still available for both days.

To celebrate three years of being open, the taproom also plans to announce its "special" beers on draft. 

Boston Beer Co., which makes Sam Adams, releases Utopias every other year, and it's often available to purchase at select specialty beer, wine and liquor stores, where laws allow. 

The last time Utopias was available in Cincinnati was in 2019.

'Treat it like a fine cognac': Sam Adams releases 28% Utopias beer

Utopias has been previously compared to a complex port or cognac. Sam Adams has described it as an "extreme" beer by the brewery, and some of the liquid has been aged nearly three decades in wooden bourbon casks.
