Just give me some of our great local brews when I'm in the mood for one, I'm sure they taste just as good or better and cost a H___ of a lot less.

$150 for a Utopias is about right. It is only released biannually and in very limited quantities. I'm not sure how many bottles made it to Kentucky in '07 but I know there were only 20 bottles for Louisville. It will be back out some time around November (just in time for those holiday gifts) and with a few more bottles available than in the past.
