You'll need a ticket to try Utopias at the Sam Adams Taproom in Cincinnati, which cost $15 and allows a 1.5-ounce pour, according to the website. Tickets are still available for both days.
In addition to tasting, a select number of people will be able to purchase Utopias from the taproom. Sam Adams will be selling eight bottles for $240 each, first come, first serve.
To celebrate three years of being open, the taproom also plans to announce its "special" beers on draft.
Boston Beer Co., which makes Sam Adams, releases Utopias every other year, and it's often available to purchase at select specialty beer, wine and liquor stores, where laws allow.
The last time Utopias was available in Cincinnati was in 2019.

Utopias has been previously compared to a complex port or cognac. Sam Adams has described it as an "extreme" beer by the brewery, and some of the liquid has been aged nearly three decades in wooden bourbon casks.
