Budget Busting Brewskis
After a long day
making TV news, it's nice to kick back with a cold one. Here's some
beers that are guaranteed to make an impact on your wallet and your
breathalyzer numbers.
Fort
$16 per bottle
18.5% alcohol content
BREWER:
Dogfish Head
PLAY: Each
batch is brewed with a generous helping of raspberries. Dogfish suggests
drinking Fort from a champagne flute. The high alcohol content makes
this the world's strongest fruit beer.
TASTE: Mildly
fruity. Perfectly carbonated and crisp; raspberry aroma and flavor aren't
overpowering. Goes great with dessert.
Stone
Imperial Russian Stout
$9 per bottle 10.8%
alcohol content
BREWER:
Stone Brewing
PLAY: Prized
by collectors, this beer is said to improve with age. (Stone recommends
storing unopened bottles in a wine cellar.) Its lineup of premium beers
has made California-based Stone one of the industry's fastest-growing
companies.
TASTE: Bold.
Thick as Texas crude, with a rich coffee flavor and a thin, foamy head.
Sam
Adams Utopias
$100 per bottle
25% alcohol content
BREWER:
Boston Brewing
PLAY: Utopias
is the world's most expensive commercial beer. Made with special malts
and yeasts, this barrel-aged, noncarbonated brew is best enjoyed as
a digestif. With only 8,000 bottles shipped this year, some have fetched
$200 on eBay.
TASTE: Delicious.
Smells like cognac; slightly fruity with maple syrup notes.
Celebrate
by Michelob
$10 per bottle
10% alcohol content
BREWER:
Anheuser-Busch
PLAY: The
King of Beers dabbles in the domain of Veuve Clicquot. Aged on bourbon
oak staves and flavored with caramel and vanilla beans, Celebrate is
a dark lager meant to be sipped from a snifter.
TASTE: Overly
sweet. Anheuser-Busch's best craft beer yet, but the vanilla smells
better than it tastes.
