Your Top Five Beers

[Gulpa]

Looking at peoples lists I obviously need to drink more.

Fullers 1845
Sierra Nevada (fresh, from tap)
Pilsner Urquell (or other czech pils depending on day you ask)
A US Porter the had on tap and the Malthouse, Wellington NZ (forget the name)
Leffe Brune

Cheers
Andrew.

 

[Pennywise]

This list changes every time I think of it but ATM, here's mine

Leffe Blonde
Youngs Double Choc Stout
Barons ESB
Grand Ridge Scotch Ale
Weihenstephen Dunkelwiesbeer (sp)

in no particular order

 

[drsmurto]

I wont name 5 but ......... i suspect all 5 would be english ales served via a handpump in the UK.

Rather than contribute, i think it would be more interesting to do a search and find the last time this thread was done and see how much change there has been to people's responses....

 

[samhighley]

There are some patterns emerging, namely:

LCPA
Landlord

I like both of those a lot.

I have been a bit disappointed with LCPA of late, but the pint bottles I purchased the other day from a little supermarket must have been refrigerated since they arrived. They were hiding down the back of the fridge and had about 10 months on the use-by. They were both delicious, and full of cascade aroma.

5 from the top of my head:

Unibroue - La Fin du Monde
Schneider Weisse - Original
Rogue - American Amber Ale
Samuel Smith - Taddy Porter (anything from Samuel Smith actually)
Great Divide - Titan IPA (It's like drinking a PINECONE!)

:icon_drool2: ..... I'm thirsty!

 

[petesbrew]

Mine changes too many times, so here's the latest top 5, in no particular order

Tooheys Old
any dark Belgian I can get my hands on

franziskaner hefeweizen
Pilsner Urquell

 

[HoppingMad]

Local yokels:

Little Creatures Pale Ale
James Squire Porter
Holgate Temptress
Coopers Stout
Mountain Goat Hightail Ale

From barrels across the sea:

Shofferhofer Hefeweizen
Duvel
Youngs Double Choc Stout

Aw man, you guys are bastards - all I want to do is hit the bottle-o now! :icon_drool2:

Hopper.

 

[stueywhytcross]

Paulaner Original Mnchner
Paulaner Hefe-Weissbier Naturtrb
Leffe Radieuse
Hoegaarden Grand Cru
Orval

 

[Muggus]

Rogue XS Old Crustacean Barleywine

Tried this for the first time last week.
Seemed pretty good, but compared to some of the other BW we were drinking at the time (Mikkeller Big Worse and Hvedegoop, Murrays Anniversary), it seemed a bit rough around the edges.
Maybe needs ageing?

 

[Jase71]

In No Order:

• Blue Label Chimay
• Trois Monts
• Little Creatures Bright
• Schwelmer Pils
• James Squire Golden Ale

 

[hoohaaman]

I could never decide on only 5 beers,it would be just to hard,akin to choosing your favourite child.

But I think Belgians would feature strongly

i 'm not going to answer this thread for fear of incriminating myself ....
(ok...so i buy swill when i'm going camping)

Swill has its place. It just shouldn't be seen as either good or as the definitive. I can drink orval and I can drink Melbourne. I just don't sing melbourne's praises.

I'd like to add Westmalle Dubbel to the list. I had it yesterday at Beer deluxe (good beer bar in melbourne) and I think it's come up trumps. I look forward to trying the trippel soon.

I also tried a Lindeman's Geuze. First lambic I've ever tried and very enjoyable. I look forward to educating my palate to the joys of wild fermentation.

 

[brendanos]

and Brendanos , you really think HopHog is that good?

I can't think of a pale ale I'd rather drink!

I really enjoyed the intensity of hop character, bitterness, and malt sweetness. Should have a second bottle then I'll know for sure if it's as amazing as I remember it!

 

[Yuma]

1. Mountain Goat Hightail Ale
2. Brains SA
3. Pilsner Urquell
4. Tyskie
5. Toohey's Old

 

[Renegade]

Wicked Elf Pale Ale has snuck into my top five i think ! What a great local drop (brewed in Port Macquarie NSW)

 

[devo]

my favs tend to change and in no particular order it's currently...

Trummer Pils
Pilsner Urquell
Duvel
Coldstream Bitter
LCPA

 

[Katherine]

mmmmmm Trummer Pils...

 

[Bizier]

Tried Rochfort 10 for the first time last night... not a bad beer by a long shot.

ED: I want to try Trumer Pils, but it is always on the top shelf at DMs under the bloody mercury vapour lights.
