Cave Creek was one of the first ones to do it. Started seeing it pop up around ~6-7 years ago.

I love chili beers. Done right it can compliment or enhance an already good beer, or make a boring beer far more exciting. There's definitely been some misses, though.

I remember being reasonably excited about the Cave Creek years ago, but the beer was nothing but semi spicy shyte in a bottle.

Fishingfast, give it a little time and I bet Habanero Sculpin will start being distributed to all the markets that get Ballast Point. It's already one of the best IPAs in the world, and (IMO) a great use of the pepper. They just bottled it for the first time (SD and maaaaybe SoCal only for now) but assuming it does well, it'll only grow and grow.

Burnside Sweet Heat. It may not have a visible chili pepper in the bottle but it has Scotch Bonnet Chili Peppers in the bottle. [;)] [:p] [8D] [img]http://www.beerthirst.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/DSCN1197-620x465.jpg[/img]

This is a good fruit beer and a good pepper beer...though the peppers have been far mellower in the last couple bottles than the first bottle or at the pub. Great fitting name too.
