    Utopias is only released every other year correct? So the next vintage will be '13?

    I heard it was coming out again this year, for the 10th anniversary of the 2002 release.

    It is NORMALLY every other year, but since 2012 is the 10th anniversary there will be a batch produced. I have the full vertical so I will definitely be after a bottle or two.

    they are pretty readily available. the main problem is the mark up. locally by me they are going for $250 a bottle and just collecting dust. if i want to travel about an hour and stay in state, i can save $50. i did eventually find someone who had it available at MSRP of $150 and sent cost and a small box of wants.

    i've had it and it is pretty tasty and unique. hard to put a price on a beer like that since it is one that can be opened and sealed and opened again and again and "should" stand the test of time. i got a 2011 since i plan to age it for 21 years for obvious reasons (possibly pop it open once per year for an ounce). i would definitely be interested in a bottle of the 2012 if i can find it at MSRP.

    definitely available though, just a question on markup.
