Beer guy Steven Beaumont enjoys unusual brews from innovators who like to fly outside the flock. Here are some of his favorites:
Bourbon County Stout from Goose Island Brewing in Chicago is aged in old bourbon barrels.
Barleywine and Midas' Touch from Dogfish Head Brewery in Delaware. The Midas' Touch is from a recipe reputed to be from Midas' tomb.
The brewers at Russian River in Santa Rosa, California do wild and wacky stuff with bacteria. Try their Temptation and Redemption.
Rye Squared from Terrapin Brewing in Georgia is made with rye as well as barley malt.
