I just read the book by the guy who founded it...amazing. Their prices are premium, but their beer is worth it. I just can't tell you much love and creativity goes into this stuff.
It's all I drink now, just about.

I have got to admit they make some awesome beers. Their Midas Touch won a gold at in the Braggot category of the American Mead Competition this year. Their 1999 world wide stout was a staggering 18% abv and perfectly balanced (2000 they upped it to 23% and it tasted like drinking fire.)
Couple of months ago they had a recipe for a 90 minute IPA clone in Zymurgy. Throw all the hops together in a bowl and throw in 6 grams every 5 minutes. Looks interesting.
One of theirs that I would stay away from, though, is the 120 minute IPA. At 10 bucks a 12oz bottle, it's way pricy, and, frankly, it sucks. Tastes like hops flavored corn syrup. Blecch. (Now, I could have gotten a bad bottle, but for 10 bucks a pop, they had better all be good.)
For extreme beer, you should also check out Stone Brewing, the guys who make Arrogant Bastard Ale.
