Samuel Adams' Utopias 2025 reaches 30% ABV, making it the world's strongest beer, and ABV limits make it illegal to sell in 15 U.S. states. Brewers achieve that strength through extended fermentation using specialized, alcohol-tolerant yeast strains, including those used in Champagne production. Because they use fermentation rather than distillation, Utopias remains technically classified as beer.
