Utopia


Well October is upon us and this could only mean 3 things: football, baseball, and beer.The limited editions of OKTOBERFEST beers are already on the shelves of your local markets, so here is something I found, that unfortunately only other half of the world will get to experience. Well maybe Canada too, but I doubt it...here it is:
This is easily the ballsiest beer on our list because of one simple fact: It has a 24% ABV, which rivals some liqueurs. Not carbonated and meant to be served at room temperature, Utopia is part of the Samual Adams Extreme Beer collection and has a warm sweet taste of vanilla, oak and caramel. But rest assured that this beer, who's ABV smashes records and gets stronger and stronger every year, is only meant for the serious beer drinker who knows a thing or two about the complexities of ales. Wine Enthusiast Magazine gave Utopia its highest rating back in 2003, but this beer still stands the test of time due to Sam Adam's dedication to quality brewing.

Rare wines found in forgotten cellar are expected to fetch thousands


ST AUSTELL Fine and vintage wines found in a disused store room at a brewery are expected to fetch thousands of pounds at auction. The 370 bottles, some 130 years old, were unearthed in an unlocked cellar at the St Austell Brewery in Cornwall.
The rarest is a Sauternes, produced in the middle of the First World War. There is also a 1916 Château Rieussec, few of which ever left France, a 1950 Mouton Rothschild and a 1961 RauzanSégla, which is widely regarded as one of the best wines of the 20th century. The oldest bottle is an 1875 cognac, thought to be from the personal collection of Walter Hicks, who founded the brewery in 1851.
Experts from Sotheby’s are now valuing the wine, which is expected to be auctioned later this month.

Retro Poster

This is a cool ad from 1970s when the world of web was just being introduced,
and online sexual predotars was just a far fetched sexual fantasy of some.
We're definately not in "kansas" anymore!
