Want to make a beer lover smile? Repeat these three words: Samuel Adams Utopias. This “EXTREME” brew is one of the most sought after in the world, and they’ve teamed with Samuel Adams to create the first-of-its-kind Utopias-seasoned cigar.
Utopias is a beer like no other; the 2013 version is a combination of different brews finished in port and single-use bourbon casks. It’s also blended with Samuel Adams Kosmic Mother Funk, a Belgian-style ale aged for up to two years in Hungarian oak tuns, and weighs in at an incredible 28 percent ABV.
Why use Utopias for a seasoned cigar? The pairing is perfection. Rich nutty and fruit notes in the Utopias play well with the spicy complexity of the cigar, while the Dominican Republican, Nicaraguan and Brazilian tobacco blend provides a smooth, deep caramelized taste that compliments the Utopias’; woody, toffee flavors.
The Samuel Adams Utopias Cigar is available during the months of November and December, and makes an ideal holiday gift for beer fans, cigar lovers, and anyone in between.
