While the Utopias is quite tasty, the "beer" alone doesn't really warrant its pricetag. I think that, manufactured in higher quantities and not packaged in a commemorative, numbered, hand-crafted brew kettle, it ought to retail at about $40-60 a bottle, more comparable to a single-malt Scotch.]]> Thu, 29 Nov 2007 10:53:48 +1100 http://www.dailycognition.com/index.php/2007/11/27/top-3-worlds-most-expensive-beer.html#comment50
The bottom-line is that there are great beers all over the country -- from North Coast to Stone to Boulevard to Spoetzel to Bell's to Boston to Dogfish Head... While I had some great beers in German and Belgium, it quickly occurred to me that they were all confined to their own local styles (some even legislated) and I became painfully aware of how special American brewing is. Sure, point out macrobrew, but don't pretend there aren't Radlers and Diesels being quaffed down on the other side of the pond.

I drink wine, too. And good wines, just like the good beers I drink. I pair both with food, too. Frankly, beer and wine share a lot of similarities in terms of learning to taste and appreciate their finer points. And there are a good number of high-end chefs and restaurants that are starting to learn about beer and use it appropriately, both in their cooking and as a beverage pairing with food. (At least, that's what I've been hearing. I can't afford high-end restaurants, though, because I enjoy too much high-end beer and upper-middle-end wine.)]]> Thu, 29 Nov 2007 04:11:57 +1100 http://www.dailycognition.com/index.php/2007/11/27/top-3-worlds-most-expensive-beer.html#comment44

yeah, I bet they really appreciate it when you offer them a glass of warm beer from a bottle you opened a month ago.

But some people only want what every other John Doe is drinking. Let them be, and let them have their Bud and MGD and other low-alcohol, low-flavor beers.

For the rest of we can hope to one day enjoy these three, or keep our own list of good brews. For my money and from what I have had so far, I put Goose Island (Chicago, IL) Bourbon County Stout at the top of the list. For overall brewer excellence, Craftsman Brewing Company in Pasadena, CA takes top prize on my list.]]> Wed, 28 Nov 2007 07:37:55 +1100 http://www.dailycognition.com/index.php/2007/11/27/top-3-worlds-most-expensive-beer.html#comment29 anything about beer.]]> Wed, 28 Nov 2007 07:13:26 +1100 http://www.dailycognition.com/index.php/2007/11/27/top-3-worlds-most-expensive-beer.html#comment28 Wed, 28 Nov 2007 07:11:22 +1100 http://www.dailycognition.com/index.php/2007/11/27/top-3-worlds-most-expensive-beer.html#comment27
