How many bottles were made this year?

I heard the previous batch of utopias going for $300+ after they were all out of stores. I don't think they have crazy trade value other than their $4$ amount. Sit on it a year and play it by ear. At that ABV it'll be good forever so long as air doesn't seep in.

I just bout a magnum of 09 cherry adam from the wood for $75 and i thought that was much.

Only 53 barrels were used in the 2011 Utopias, so it goes without saying that it will be released as a limited-edition.
as for saving it and selling it, this bottle is definitely being consumed by me. I still need to decide if I'm going to buy the other one and sit on it for resale.

Didn't read much of the thread but I'm sure people are flaming you. $180 isn't a big deal, especially to spend on something you truly enjoy. I say more power to ya and enjoy!

It wasn't a troll, it was a genuine comment.

I can imagine paying $100 or more for an aged belgian trappist beer, but an American beer in a fancy bottle? Uhh, no, you're just a ****ing idiot.

You're either an idiot or a troll. Your choice.

It's a poor means of measuring quality to judge by the country of origin.

Especially considering that fact that people have been brewing beer since BC times. I would certainly hope we have the method down well enough that high quality beer can be produced in any country that can grow hops and barley

Well, obviously you have never heard of trappist beers before or you would realise how stupid your comment was. Quality is not based on the country of origin, all trappist beers come from Belgium except for one which comes from Denmark.

The judgement of quality comes from the history of the beer, and most of the trappist beers have 300 years plus of history, water that comes from abbey springs, yeasts that are cultivars of 600 year old strains in some cases. Some trappists have a history that can be traced back to before the puritans landed on the shores of the Americas.

A final measure of quality, is the ability to cellar a beer, most beers that use commercial yeast strains and often include preservatives cannot be "aged" in a cellar to improve the flavour, in fact keep most beers past their shelf date and they go very very wrong, however most trappist beers can be cellared past 10 years with a noticeable improvement in quality similar to wines.

Beer snobbery isn't about buying an expensive bottle and going "Look ma, I'm a snob" no, beer snobbery is about understanding beer, its origins, its history, and knowing that America has no history or skills to compare with the benedictine monks who have been making this **** for centuries, long before the US was even colonised.

So, "snob" now that you have an education in beer, please, go into the world and experience REAL quality, without paying a stupid fortune for the privilege. I will even give you a leg up, the two absolute "must try" Trappist beers are Westvleteren and Rochefort, both with a very long old history that produce cellerable beers. Also, Chimay are a sell out (ingredient and technique wise), don't bother mentioning them.

Its as insulting as trying to tell me a Californian Zinfandel is an adequate comparison to a French Bordeaux from a respected winery.

Question: Should I go back and buy the other bottle? Or is the potential for profit just too small?
