Your Top Five Beers

[sponge]

I'm surprised to see so much love for SN harvest..

The ones I've had have been far too sweet to be enjoyable.

That's just my opinion though. One man's trash is another man's treasure!

 

[mje1980]

I may get kicked off ahb for saying it but I'm over US styles in general

 

[Blitzer]

Cantillon - Rosé de Gambrinus
Chimay - Cinq Cents
Sierra Nevada - Torpedo
Saison Dupont
I'm putting in Russian River - Supplication (never had it, but I have a feeling it would be right there)

 

[luggy]

I'd have to agree with you there, whether they don't age well on the trip over or aren't my cup of tea to begin with I'm not too sure. Much prefer German English and Belgian

 

[TimT]

I've got a cracking Smoked Porter on tap at home at the moment. I'll bring you a sample to next Merri Masher meeting.

Smoke + porter = Excellence. I made one last year, went down a treat.

 

[hairydog]

Trying to get through all on the rack but i go for

Little Creatures bright ale
Matsos smokey bishop dark smokey lager a good drop
Timothy taylors landlord
Sierra nevada torpedo
Monteiths dark ale

 

[yum beer]

Depends on the season.

SUMMER
Budvar
Urquell
Warsteiner
Sam Smiths Pale Ale
Pikes Oakbank

WINTER
Sam Smith Taddy Porter
Hobgoblin
Endeavour Amber Reserve
Sam Smith India Ale
Coopers Vintage

 

[Crofty]

No particular order-

Leffe Radieuse
Heretic Evil Twin
Chimay Red
Hopdog Redhopulous

and my favourite case beer-
Coopers Mild

 

[danestead]

This is hard because I cannot remember the last time I bought a carton and I rarely even buy a 6 pack or single bottles these days.

In no order.

Little Creatures Rogers
Feral Hop Hog
Feral Sly Fox
James Squire 150 Lashes
4 Pines Pale Ale

Ive gone off Little Creature Pale Wle which was once by far may favourite beer. It is too floral for me as I much prefer a citrusy style paleale. Maybe it is because it has changed over the years.

 

[menoetes]

My top 5 is often changing as I keep trying new beers but at the moment;

Feral Hop Hog
Kostritzer Schwarzbier
Little Creatures Pale
Sierra Nevada Pale
Holgate Millenium Falcon (in very careful moderation).

The top two are actually tied for first place.

Hmmm... now I look, I notice 3 of those are Pale Ales. If you had asked me previously; I would have told you I wasn't a huge fan of them. I guess I just made a liar of myself...

 

[fixa4377]

Coopers PA
Melbourne Bitter
Coopers 62 Pilsner
James Boags Premium
Squires 150 Lashes

No fancy brews here,, Easily pleased,

Love tasting and testing new & o/seas beers, Just haven't done much of it

 

[Logman]

fat yak ahead of lc?!

I wouldn't have said it previously, but have been pretty disappointed with the last couple of slabs of LCPA. Fat Yak is great as a thrown down beer after working etc too. All of my bottles for homebrew are LCPA empties giving testament to my previous association with this beer

 

[jester28]

SN torpedo
Deschutes fresh squeezed IPA
Brewdog 5am saint
Liberty C!tra
Bridge rd bling IPA

 

[thedragon]

Leffe Radieuse
Chimay grand reserve
White rabbit dark ale
4 pines el dorado
Fat Yak (from the bottle, not on tap)

 

[Danwood]

Fullers London Porter
Rogue Hazelnut Brown
Schlenkerla Urbock/Eiche Dopplebock (can't split them)
Feral Hophog
Straffe Hendrick (De Haalve Man) Quad

*List correct at time of print*

 

[yankinoz]

In no order: Timothy Taylor Landlord, Bohemia (Mexico), New Glarus Cherry Stout, Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock, Saison Dupont.

I'd add Ballantine IPA, but that would do you no good, since it died years ago. I still wear black.

 

[Ciderman]

Has anyone seen or heard of Coopers Special old stout? It was packaged much the same as vintage.

For me...

Beechworth Pale Ale
Deschutes 'Chainbreaker' White IPA
Murray's 'Dark Knight' Porter
Burleigh 'Hasel Hop'
Anchor 'Steam Ale'

 

[neonmeate]

loved the coopers special stout (and the olde blue cap regular stout when it was 6.7, 6.8%....) CBES hasnt been the same since the move to the new shiny brewery.

 

[Dips Me Lid]

Nearly impossible to choose, but here's my top five at the moment, no particular order.

Fullers ESB
Rochefort 10
Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA
Haand Bryggeriet Odin's Tipple
Alesmith Speedway Stout
