Your Top Five Beers

[brenjak]

This has probably been done before but...
I love to go to Dan Murphy's or 1st Choice and pick up my favourite cartons when i go to the big smoke (Cairns). I buy a carton of Pilsner Urquell and a carton of DAB. With this i usually by a couple of different six packs to try. I collect the bottles and obviouosly enjoy the beer.

What are your top five picks? Dosnt necessarily have to be available in Australia either. I have been though Europe twice and plan to go agian in a couple of years so if you tried a good one somewhere let me know and i ma follow in your footsteps.

Prost!

THE O/P was 5 beers, NOT 10 breweries

I guess if it was a "death row" situation, where right this moment I could only choose 5 beers to drink, I'd pick:

• A fruit lambic such as Cantillon Framboos 1979, 3 Fonteinen Oude Kriekenlambik or 3 Fonteinen Schaerbeekse Kriek;
• Westvleteren Blonde, just because I like it;
• something Belgian and decadent like Struisse Pannepot or Westvleteren Abt 12;
• something "new-world" like Pizza Port Cuvee de Tomme or Russian River Beatification;
• and finally a smoked beer: Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Urbock.

I wouldn't call them my "top 5" though

 

[Brisfox]

1. Ruddles County.
2.Peroni.
3.Newky Brown.
4.Murphys Stout.
5.Rogers Ale.
