Hey Chef: Sounds awesome. When I saw the title of the post it made me think of Cave Creek Chili Beer. It's a spicy pilsner with a chili in every bottle (serrano, I think) It's a bit rough to drink, and one will do, but I bet it would make an interesting part of a marinade.
...for anyone who hasn't tried this stuff, you've got to give it a go. It's wild!
