I don't necessarily see the point of an 80proof beer, but hey - why not? Right?

At this point wouldnt it be considered a liqueur?
Don't get me wrong ... I LOVE BEER, but why would I spend $60, $90, $175 on beers like Sink the Bismarck, Tactical Nuclear Penguin, or Utopias?
I can get a nice bottle of Bourbon or Rum for the same price.
Too me its way too extreme. my 2 cents

Utopias is amazing and is definitely still beer. I would never waste my money on any of this BrewDog crap.

I had it at a bar called Rattle N Hum in NYC for $10 an oz. It was an opportunity I couldn't see myself getting another chance to do so in the near future and it was only $10...

A few of us at the local B&M went in on a bottle of Utopias at Christmas. It was good...But not that good.

Utopias really is a feat of crazy proportions because it's damn near impossible to get yeast to eat that amount of sugar. You're paying for the aging time, crazy research, and tons of failed batches IMO. These other beers are just distilled crap and really aren't even beer.
