Getting Good Head in Palm Coast

I was reading this interesting column about a new beer Sam Adams is introducing into Southern Florida next week.  We are Northeastern Florida, but maybe we will get some, too.  The article has this neat video link in it.  See it below.

My headline misleading?  Sorry.  Forgive me.  Here's something more along those lines...

Know Your Vacation Sex

Posted Thursday 11/05/2009 4:30 PM in Stupid Fun by Maxim Staff

Thailand Sex:  Your coke-fueled orgy with three horny ladies turns into a gang initiation for three boy-ninjas, who beat you with bamboo and steal everything but your socks.

Staying-With-Your-Parents Sex:  Furious Chihuahua-like humping while listening for footsteps and screaming, “WE'LL BE THERE IN A SEC, MA!”

Vegas Sex:  The kind you can’t remember until you realize you can’t find that $800 you won at craps last night.

Cruise Ship Sex:  Facing each other cross-legged, you rock back and forth slowly, erotically…till one of you pukes.

Still disappointed? I'll try going back to the beer talk...

It’s beer, believe it or not
I like beer. I like beer a lot. So I was thrilled when Sam Adams invited me to a wine-pairing dinner at Michy’s*. The dinner was to showcase their 2009 Utopias extreme beer, which hits South Florida shelves as early as next week, but we also sampled their winter line of beers.

Utopias are part of Sam Adams’ extreme beer collection, a line that got started in 1994 with Samuel Adams Triple Bock, a dark beer with 17 percent alcohol. Pushed by Sam Adams founder Jim Koch to brew stronger, more complex beers, the first batch of Utopias was released in 2002. Since then it has been released in odd years: 2003, 2005 and 2007.

Sam Adams brewer Bob Cannon explained that with the Utopias they wanted to push the limits of what people know as beer. Well, I think they succeeded.

The 2009 Utopias weighs in at 27 percent alcohol. To make it, Sam Adams uses a proprietary yeast strain containing ale yeast and champagne yeast. As Bob explained it, beer yeast dies under osmotic pressure but champagne yeast will keep going and keep fermenting. Um, okay. Basically, he said, the champagne yeast is what allows them to get the alcohol level to what it is. The beer is aged in wood bourbon, whiskey and cognac barrels.

So is it still beer when it resembles cognac? My brain had a hard time associating Utopias with what it knows as beer but technically it is a beer. Call it what you may, all I know is that the Utopias was a pleasure to drink.
