Nice suggestions gregen9, but why not add your picks and explain why? (Perhaps with links to the breweries you mention.) That way others will learn about these beers as well. :-)

Anything by Deschutes or Widmer Bros. Breweries in Oregon beats anything on this list. The point? Local micro-breweries are producing the superior product. Maybe you should have said the 'best mass-marketed' beer?
Guiness is fine (but not better than Murphey's) and the Newcastle I like. #12-15 I don't know. But If you're going to list Corona (which is fine) you might as well list all the other Mexican beers that taste just like it (Pacifico Clara etc). i just don't think it belongs on anything but a 'best Mexican' list.

You seem to have a preference for pilsener's where I find my 'default' beer is an IPA (or EPA). Difference of taste. But nice list.

Duvel and Jupiler, my two fav beers :-)
I'm glad to see that so many Belgian Beers are in the list! (sadly not in the top5)

LOL... that's a question you have to ask a Belgian lik me. =)

By the way it's 'Hoegaarden' not 'Hoegaarten'...

Does Cider count? I love me some Strongbow
