Sam Adams Millenium MMM

07-03-2015 @ 12:51 pm

I won this in 2000. After grand plans to open it to much fanfare, we tried some cheaper bottles of Sam Adams triple boch, and realized we hated it. It's been stored in my basement ever since, because I kept telling myself I would eventually want to use the beautiful wooden box. I haven't yet, so surely it should go to a collector. Cut & pasted from the listing that led me to believe it still has value: Extremely rare, unopened, bottle of Samuel Adams Millennium Ale MMM with custom drawstring bag and matching cherry wood case. (I can't find a number on it anywhere, but I'm also trying not to handle it too much). Signed by Jim Koch. History of Samuel Adams Millennium: "Released in 2000, Samuel Adams® Millennium is the result of The Boston Beer Company founder Jim Koch's desire to create an astonishing, once-in-a-lifetime beer to commemorate the new millennium. Packaged in a unique, cobalt blue bottle with platinum lettering, finished with a natural cork and a hand dipped wax seal with an “M” monogram (Millennium) in the top of the wax seal. This unique bottle features a custom drawstring cloth bag with bottle insignia, nestled in a matching cherry wood box. Only 3,000 750 ml bottles were crafted; making it the most limited edition Samuel Adams® beer ever offered. Each bottle was hand-signed by Jim Koch. “It's very rare to see one out today, but if you stumble on one, buy it - because you'll probably never get another chance!" Beer Advocate Magazine rates this beer with the very rare rating of 98 – 100 (WORLD CLASS!) and a must have for the true beer lover or collector.
