Over the labor day weekend in Asheville, I sampled the following at Bier Garden, all in bottles:
Flying Dog Horn Dog Barleywine
Chimay Blue
Chimay Red
(They have Chimay White as well, but I'd already had it before).
Ommegang Hennepin (Which I didn't really like)
Bier Garden also has:
Ommegang Abbey Ale (25 oz bottles for $12)
Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter (Hunter S. Thompson Tribute Beer)
At Jack in the Wood, I tried:
Green Man Dragon, which was quite tasty.
Remember, these beers are high in alcohol content (The Chimays are 8% or so, and the others are 9-12 or so), so be safe with them. Sip slowly, and be sure not to drive drunk! These beers are to be savored, not chugged.

Thanks for the lowdown, George. I've actually spent the night, the whole night, in the Flying Dog Brewery in Denver. And I have copies of the original Steadman artwork for Flying Dog Ale and Road Dog Porter. And you'll have to buy me a beer to get the whole story out of me!
Ya'll are making me thirsty.
