It depends on your tastes... there is a very good selection here. And to maximise your shipping dollar, it would pay to get a good range.

Pliny the Elder is the cornerstone IIPA - you mustn't miss this beer.

Firestone Walker is an award winning brewery - and you cant go wrong with any of their beers. Double Barrel Ale is a great tasting beer and showcases how well American brewers can juggle their repetoire... so to appreciate Firestones range (not just range of beer - but range of talent) you will have to get a Union Jack and Pale 31.

Rogue is a massive boutquery who make awesomly malty beer. Start of with the Mocha Porter to get an idea of what they are about.

Also look into the Canada Tab and try "La Fin Du Monde" from Unibroue as well as Maudite and trois pistoles. Awesome beer.

Depending on how deep your pockets are - Alesmith IPA is fantastic. I think it is better than Yulesmith (but I had Winter which is different to Summer) so both IPAs from this brewery are woth a look.

That should give you your 12 bottles!

(if you double up on a couple)

Oh man! I see myself red-lining the old credit card. As our B&B heads for winter I am still probably cavalier enough to do it though - when the quiet months bite it is hard not to drink generic slop! Actually I enjoy special bitter as a first choice and IPA, but then in the colder months the stouts and porters are just great - so thanks for the guidance.
