Had it for the first time this past weekend. I've tried and liked their other beers, but the Hercules is outstanding. Stoudt's out of PA also does an excellent Double IPA.
I'm a huge pale ale/IPA fan. Gotta have my hops. I recommed Sierra Nevada Pale Ale for someone looking to try, or get into pales. Great beer, very consistent quality and readily available. Another label to look for is Deschutes (Bend, OR) if they are distributed in your area. All their "hoppy" beers are outstanding...Mirror Pond Pale, Hop Henge IPA, Inversion IPA & Hop Trip. Mirror Pond will be the easiest to find. For someone wanting to dive in the hop deep end, I recommend Three Floyds Alpha King or Heavy Seas Loose Cannon Hop3 (from Clipper City Brewery, Baltimore, MD). Tater, they make an excellent pilsner called Small Craft Warning.
For those of you with access to Wegman's, they were carrying Magic Hat (Burlington, VT) brews last time I was home. #9 is their staple, but all their beers are excellent.
Premier Gourmet on Delaware has a great selection in Buffalo. I want to be entombed in Beers of the World in Roch. For the Atlanta crowd, Greens on Ponce or Buford Hwy has a great selection. Also, a huge place just opened down 85 SW of the City...heading to PTC. Georgia World of Beverages. I'll check it out sometime in the next couple days and report back.
