Ultimate Six Pack

[pablo_h]

If you could only get a six pack of generic beer, what is your favourite styles?

Pilsner, lambic, brown, red, wheat, porter, ale, lager etc?

I don't go for flavoured beer like the ones flavoued with choc, coffee, chillies, fruit or spices, but the basic types. I've bought a lot of complex beers with heaps of adjuncts to find what I like. But I'm into HB for the honest to goodness stuff.
I'm not interested in making a name for myself as a brewer, I just want to make what I like , and I know what I like.
for me, my ulimate six pack would be:

australian stout
australian pale ale
english esb
english IPA

for lagers:
belgium white
german bock

But if I never got around to making a lager, I'd still die a happy man. But my first lager will be a bock.
edi: and my second will be a doppelbock!
