Or drive to New Jersey.

I always make a "bootleg run" to by Millstream Schild Brau Beer from the Amana Colonies when I'm back in Iowa.

Stupid Missouri beverage laws...

Don't drink any more, but I've had some extremely icky beers that cause instant headaches, skunk beer with way too much hops and so on.

I like Dos Equis Beer "Most Interesting Man In The World" commercials, though.

It has to be Chimay, made by Trappist Monks in Belgium. There is a sediment of yeast in the bottom that can be re-pitched for you home brewers. The yeast allows for a very high alcohol content. Wonderful stuff!

For me it would be Bigfoot Barley Wine, made by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. VERY hoppy and VERY malty with a pretty high alcohol content - about 14% if I remember correctly.

HAHAHA, Joshua you are killing me! I'm reading this at work on my break and spit all over my screen laughing out loud at your chili beer bit.

Best beer... would have to be "Trois Pistoles" by a company out of Canada.. (yeah those French Canooks make damned fine beer) call Unibrow I believe. It's about 9% when they bottle it and it's bottle fermented if that tells you anything.. wouldn't drink more than one unless your trying to forget something. This beer has more layers of flavor than I have vocabulary to describe. I promise that if you try it you won't forget it.

Funny, last time I had one (more than 10 years ago), I was disapointed. Most of Unibroue's beer tend to taste the same. But close to 20 years ago, they were very popular because they were not a commercial beer, but a microbrewery. they are now a commercial beer. But they did something to the other microbrewery, they got people to start looking for some locally made beer and then internationally made beer. We now have so many microbrewery, we don't know what to drink now...And most of them are far tastier than Unibroue made beers.

Sam Adams Triple Bock.

Nasty when fresh, tasted great when I had a 3-4 year old bottle.

It was 1998, IIRC, and I tasted a '95, a '96, and a '97.
Not sure if they're still brewing SATB.

Edit: Apparently they still brew it, but none available near my zip code!!

When I Googled it, I saw (3) 1997 bottles on eBay for $50!!

Forget the name but there is a German beer where they some the malted barley before adding to the wort. Finish with a beer with a single malt flavor!

The single worst beer that I ever drank was a non-alcoholic Skol in Pakistan. Tasted just like the wort after the sugar is added and before fermentation. Yuck!!!

Had a couple really interesting beers. One was because it was quite good made by a company called "Hoppin' Frog Brewery." I had their BORIS The Crusher Imperial Oatmeal Stout. Fairly high alc. content but had a nice rich flavor. The second was a Lithuanian made beer that I can't type the name of here because most of the letters don't appear on my keyboard. I bought it at a rather interesting store www.junglejims.com. They feature a different beer each week that they find from around the world. I figured I would give this one a try because I figured at $1.50 how could I go wrong. Well, I went VERY wrong. The taste was more really bad watered down whiskey than beer. I've had some bad beers before, but this one took the cake. One of the few beers I've been unable to finish. Had more than one person say they'd give it a try, and still no takers. Between 4 people it never did get finished it was so bad.
