In the last year, I have sampled not hundreds, but thousands of beers. Mind you, this does not make
me an afficianado, nor a critic, I have only been enabled to better serve my taste buds when standing in front of the beer cooler.
Recently, I fell in love with Dogfish Head Brewery, a micro-brewery in Delaware. They make extremely well balanced beers of all shapes/sizes/strenghts/styles. They even have 3 different types/strengths of IPA! One of their most impressive beers I have tasted to date is called "Midas Touch." The history behind the beer is awesome, and a great conversation point. Some years back, archeologists discovered King Midas' tomb, inside they found the "largest Iron Age drinking set ever found--157 vessels, including a ram-headed and lion-headed situla--for preparing, serving, drinking and libating a special beverage at the funerary feast of the king. The secrets of the beverage were revealed by the new methods of Molecular Archaeology. Dr. Patrick McGovern of the Museum discovered that the residues inside the vessels belonged to a "Phrygian cocktail," which combined grape wine, barley beer and honey mead. Starting with the ancient chemical evidence, Dogfish Head Brewery "re-created" a marvelous golden elixir, truly touched by King Midas."
You can find this beer occasionally in wine and beer stores, usually the supermarket doesn't carry it. The beer is supposed to be served in a large wine glass, or something similar to those glasses that you get sometimes with Stella Artois. 
This beer is expensive, usually about 14$ for a four pack, and I have seen it on tap for 7$ a glass! But I do urge you to give this beer a try, something wonderful and truly unexpected.
