Mostly 3 Floyds for me.

Zombie Dust, Gumball, Dreadnought, Moloko Milk Stout (Which I drink warm)
Dogfish Head is good as well.
Ranger for if you want a cheaper IPA

Castaway from Kona is surprisingly similar to Gumball Head without the price tag. You can find 6ers starting at 6.99 but usually around 8.99-9.99. Great little beer for the price. It is what I usually drink

Always up for a good bourbon as well. In the last decade there is a nice uptick in the bourbon market as far as finding damn fine spirits for around 30$ or under.

Blantons, Bookers, Knob, Woodford double if I want to spend 50-60$
Always wanted to try Pappy but good luck with that
I hear good things about Angel's Envy and Jim Beam Black but have yet to try them.

Eagle Rare, Four Roses Small Batch if you want to spend around 30$ and still have a great tasting bourbon.

I have also taken to, at least during the holidays, muddling orange peel and sugar into oleo saccharum. Pour in a cheaper whiskey and let it marry for a couple days then strain out the peel and you have a tasty orange liqueur for old fashioneds.
