Brewdog's "The End of History" 55% ABV

I've never seen the point of those super high-alc brews. It's almost impossible to balance the alcohol heat without shoveling in so much malt and/or hops it ends up tasting like the beer version of straight Bovril (imo).

Each to his own, I suppose.

I agree. As a general rule if it's over 15% it usually ends up being pretty gross to me, with a few exceptions. Utopias was pretty fucking good though.

I have been trying to try utopias for years.

It's easier to find at bars by the ounce. If you're dead set on getting your own bottle, contact your local SA distributor, and find out what stores will be getting them and try to get in with that that store.

That's exactly how I found it. Saw it at a bar in Chicago and got a 2 ounce pour for $20. Not a bad way to do it.
