Lotto to get Blotto — Krogers Offering Chance To Buy Bottles of Rare Booze

Kroger is doing something crazy. They’re hosting a lottery just so you can get a chance to buy one of 25 bottles of Samuel Adams’ Utopias, a 28 percent alcohol by volume beer, for $189.

Did you read that? I’ll give you a moment to go back over it and take it in because I just wrote, “28 percent alcohol by volume beer.” This is more than double any beer I’ve had the opportunity to drink — the closest I’ve seen are some 10% and maybe on a rare occasion an 11% and even still, it’s likely to cost an arm and a leg to get a sip.

But don’t be confused, this is only a chance for the opportunity to spend nearly $200 on a 24 oz. bottle of beer.

This monster has been aged for 22 years. Some of you were a dash of anxiety as your parents thought of the concept of even having children. So yeah, you can thank Ohio’s recent lift on the 12 percent alcohol by volume cap ban for this — and I’m not being hyperbolic here — most incredible thing I’ve ever seen.

As far as what it tastes like? I can’t even begin to imagine — probably close to an actual liquor than beer, or a dark malty wine? Like honestly, if you’ve had something close to this sound off in the comments because I want to talk to you.

Okay so, how do you enter? Well, you can enter one of these Kroger stores and enter in person:
