I remember buying a "chilli beer" from the Salamanca Markets in Hobart
Tasmania. I drank it while we were in Port Arthur. Somewhere along the way
they forgot to add the beer. It was very spicy but that's about all I could
say about it. It was thin and flavourless. I'd suggest having a fairly full
bodied beer if you're looking at chilli spiced beer.
