Reminiscent of a vintage port or fine sherry, each release of Utopias boasts a distinct blend of aged ales for a truly unique tasting experience. Meanwhile, Sam Adams debuted Utopias in 1994 and releases it every two years. Since its inception, we’ve released numerous variants of World Wide Stout, including – Oak-Aged Vanilla World Wide Stout, aged on oak with real vanilla beans, and Bourbon Barrel-Aged World Wide Stout, aged in freshly-emptied bourbon barrels still wet with spirits. Originally released in 1999, World Wide Stout is dark, roasty and complex, with a depth similar to that of a fine port wine. “And what better way to personify our explorative mindset than by borrowing some barrels from our pals at Sam Adams to integrate two pioneering bold and ageable craft beers?” Whether that’s discovering a new-to-brewing ingredient, like using monk fruit to create our full-flavored, lo-cal IPA, Slightly Mighty inventing a new-to-brewing culinary ingredient, like continual hopping, the process behind our 60 Minute IPA and 90 Minute Imperial IPA or bringing a classic, off-centered ale to life in a new way, like we are doing with Utopias Barrel-Aged World Wide Stout,” says Dogfish Head founder Sam Calagione. “At Dogfish Head, we are always searching for innovative ways to push the boundaries of craft beer. Limited quantities of this exclusive brew will be available throughout Delaware in 4-pack 12 oz.

After sitting in the barrels for a full seven months, Utopias Barrel-Aged World Wide Stout was born. And thanks to a shipment of freshly emptied Utopias barrels from our friends at Sam Adams, we were able to see just how well these two beloved brews would mingle. One word – Utopias.Ĭhock full of intricate aromas and warming flavors, Sam Adams Utopias is a unique blend of aged ales dating back more than 25 years – the perfect complement to an already complex World Wide Stout. Brewed with a ridiculous amount of barley, you might be wondering how this boundary-pusher could get any more boisterous. Often whispered about in the darkest corners of the beer community, World Wide Stout just got a little more complex and whole lot more sought-after.
