I just found this thread. Awesome idea. Hard to think about ...

After much hand-wringing:

• Balmain Pale Ale
• Founders Breakfast Stout
• Moon Dog Jukebox Hero IPA
• Bridge Road Chestnut Pilsner
• Feral Smoked Porter

Off the grog at the moment but find the question a problem poser, I have tried a lot of different beers and I like many, I agree with Three Sheets, a top five is hard to pin down especially in any order, temperature would play a big part in what we drink and enjoy drinking.

Guinness Foreign Extra / Stoke Bombardier Kiwi IPA / Hook Norton Haymaker / Greene Kings Old Crafty Hen / Robinson's Old Tom.

Looks like alcohol content might play an important part in my choices as well as temperature.

I've had some nice beers I've only tried only once when I was in a beer club, but I'll keep my list to beers I've tasted many times:

1 - Little Creatures Pale Ale
2 - HopDog BeerWorks Redhopolous
3 - 4 Pines Kolsch
4 - Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
5 - Murrays Rudeboy Pilsner

Like others hard to keep it to 5, so honourable mentions to Wicked Elf Pale Ale, Wicked Elf Porter, LCBA, Coopers Sparkling, Mac's Hop Rocker and Badlands IPA.

If I'm buying a case, unless it's a special occasion and I'm shouting myself, I like to keep it under $60 so in that category I tend to go JS Golden Ale, JS Porter, Gage Roads Atomic Pale Ale, Gage Roads Giant IPA or Matilda Bay Fat Yak.

Murrays Spartacus
Epic Hop Zombie
8Wired Superconductor
Holgate Millennium Falcon

NOTE: Never try to have all of these beers in one session!!

 

[Mardoo]

No particular order, but I'm not really a Top Ten etc. type of guy:

Kooinda English Red Ale
Fuller's London Porter
St. Bernardus Abt 12
Fat Tire Amber (any hoppy amber with a whack of caramel, really)

Honorable Mention:
