BEER LOVERS CHECK IN - Most Original Beer you have tried AND enjoyed
I'll go first since it's my damn post and I started it.
Of course I will always go with Dogfish Head Brewery since let's face it they make the most original beer in the country.
But my 2 very original beers from them include:
Dogfish Head Theobroma
Theobroma is a celebration of chocolate, the food of the gods.
This Ancient Ale is based on chemical analysis of pottery fragments found in Honduras that revealed the earliest known alcoholic chocolate drink used by early civilizations to toast special occasions.
The discovery of this beverage pushed back the earliest use of cocoa for human consumption more than 500 years to 1,200 B.C. As per the analysis, Dogfish Head's Theobroma (translated into "food of the gods"
is brewed with Aztec cocoa powder and cocoa nibs (from our friends at Askinosie Chocolate), honey, chilies and annatto (fragrant tree seeds).
It's light in color, not what you expect from your typical chocolate beer (not that you'd be surprised that we'd do something unexpected with this beer!).
This beer is part of our Ancient Ales series -- along with Midas Touch, Chateau Jiahu, Sah'tea and Ta Henket -- so step back in time and enjoy some Theobroma.

The vivid rose hue of this imperial Pale Ale comes from a combination of Munich and Caramel malts and a touch of red rice from Louisiana, birthplace of musician and collaborator Julianna Barwick (read all about that collaboration here!).
Julianna, who builds ecstatic choirs by looping and layering her voice, helped choose the ingredients for Rosabi and visited coastal Delaware to brew a test batch.
Citrusy Simcoe and Centennial feed Julianna’s love of hops, and the star of the show is her go-to ingredient: wasabi. What’s hoppy? … Wasabi. The Japanese root adds bittering and herbal notes similar to hops, with its subtle heat creeping in after the kick of carbonation.

A friend worked for Herold when they had distribution in the US. I miss this beer a lot.
Dark, smoky porter with a trippy label!
It has great flavor with a smooth after taste
The only thing I don't like is the price! I may have to find another brewer with the same quality, but easier on the wallet.
They are in a three way tie for me with Dogfish and Stone for the best brewery in the country:
Not at all icky as the name would imply! One of last year's seasonals, alas.
Duchesse de Bourgogne (pronounced: [duːˈʃɛs də buʁ.ɡɔɲ]) is a Flanders red ale-style beer produced by Brouwerij Verhaeghe in Vichte, Belgium. After a primary and secondary fermentation, this ale is matured in oak barrels for 18 months. The final product is a blend of a younger 8-month-old beer with an 18-month-old beer. The name of the beer is meant to honour Duchess Mary of Burgundy, the only daughter of Charles the Bold, born in Brussels in 1457, who died in a horse riding accident. Like all Flemish red ales, Duchesse de Bourgogne has a characteristically sour, fruity flavour similar to that of lambic beers.
I would classify this one as the most original beer that I truly like.
I like a lot of beers but this is the most original.
Okay, probably not actually in his bathtub (though I can't be absolutely certain of that ). But he home-brewed it and bottled it in Grolsch bottles (the ones with the ceramic cap) to hand out as gifts.
Definitely the most original--and surprisingly good. 
from Flying Dog, Frederick, MD.
Wasn't from Hydes Brewery by any chance? http://www.hydesbrewery.com/
Although when it comes to Manchester Breweries, I much prefer Marble Brewery.
Had it once and loved it. But all Surly beers are exceptionally good.
Also Pliny the Younger and Hercules Triple IPA, though they are not "exotic" beers. Delicious, though. 
had to do something with the several gallons of frozen (homegrown) apricots and had a batch of beer going so I dumped them all in there. OMG, it was good!
otherwise this was a fun barleywine I tried in New Mexico in October:
