I don't have a top 5, too many great beers out there. If you're in a Big Dan's that's lucky enough to have a Svyturys Auksinas (gold) from my native Lithuania, give at least a 4 pack a burl. Great rice lager.
 
Rocheforte 8
Gouden Carouls
Paulaner Salvator Doppelbock
Sam Adams Boston Lager
Grand Ridge Moonlight (English Mild Style)

I was also supremely impressed the first time I tried Grand Ridge Brewers Pilsener but consistency seems to be a problem for them, I have bought about 5 stubbies of this since the first hoping for the same flavour I got from the first instead I got 5 bottles of Klag Glue!!
 
No order..

Sierra Nevada Pale ale
Westmalle Tripple
Orval
Rochfort 10
Budvar
Tros Pistoles
 
Anything from around the black forest in Germany is great!
all the little villages brew their own fantastic

Other than that
Red Hill Golden Ale
Some other stuff
Leffe...
Hoegaarden
Kilkenny

+1 on the schwarzwald - i love Rothaus!
 
I wish I had a greater catalogue of commercial beers tried, but so far:

3 Fonteinen Oude Gueuze, I think it was that one :D~
Chimay Blue
Schneider Aventinus
Coopers Vintage Ale
Southwark Old Stout
 
my true love, the trappists - westvleteren 12, closely followed by rochefort 10
a complex old style belgian ale - liefmans goudenband
did somebody say hops? - stone ruination ipa
an everyday quaffer, but far from ordinary - timothy taylors landlord pale ale
to warm the cockles on a cold cold night - okocim porter
 
What I love anywhere at any time is Chimay Blue, Coopers Vintage and any Belgian tripel/golden ale.
 
This is just the five I'd be most likely to buy at the moment, given the chance (and if they were all cheap). In no particular order.

Fat Yak
Matilda Bay APA
James Squire Amber Ale
Old Speckled Hen
James Squire Porter
 
Murrays Pale
Alpha Pale Ale
Gage Roads IPA
Pepperjack Ale
JSGA
 
I have a top five I can remember the names of and a top five. I'll go with a top five but two are bit vague because they are 'beer memories'...I'll have to check the video as I did record it.

1. Rochefort 10
2. Coopers Vintage batch 1
3. LCPA
4. Czech something dark :) I don't remember what it was but damn it was tasty. Was staying in prague and picked it up at the supermarket...I will have to check the video. I was having a couple a night in the hostel and filming the ones I had had.
5. something mild, hand pumped in Bath, I'll have to check my vids.

Of the above I've only had the LCPA more than once...unless you count brew your own versions as having it again.
 
In no particular order...

- Becks
- Coopers Pale Ale
- Duval
- James Squire Amber Ale
- Schofferhofer Hefeweizen

It's actually really painful to try to name 5, I've just thought of about 5 more I like just as much as these beers
 
Temple Saison
Pilsner Urquell
LCPA based on memories
Weinhenstephaner Hefeweizen
Southwark Stout
 
The five that spring to mind are

1. Chimay Blue
2. Paulaner Pils
3. Franziskaner Weissbier Dunkel
4. Bishops Finger
5. Guiness
 
in order.

3) the closest to someone else
4) The dodgy beer your mate left in your fridge cause it tastes like crap
5) any
