    Losing steam here so not enough energy to really think deeply about this...but your list is pretty nice. I've had most of those and hard to argue with many there. I'd swap Coffee for Cherry Rye and maybe King Henry for Church; prob a Loon for the Consecration.

    Let's be real, if you could only drink your 10 beers for the rest of your life I don't think that would be a problem for most of us. You are missing a saison there though.

    Tried to give myself some variety but so much is missing, if this was a real decision it would take me a solid week of contemplation to decide.

    Maybe not the 10 best but certainly the 10 I'd live off of. 10 best would have to make room for BCBVS.

    love the old fezziwig choice...personally think that if old fezziwig and cream stout were bottled under the name of stone or FFF, people would respect these brews much more

    I'm sure this will fluctuate a lot for me over time and according to certain moments. I find the right beer with the right setting can really put things over the top sometimes.

    If I'm restricted to 10 beers I would have to choose those I could drink all day long without tiring of them.No "show ponies" therefore.
    No problem.It was like that when I began drinking and we were all happy with what we had.Well made good ordinary everyday stuff which improved with every pint as we went along.Thankfully I can still get beer like them so come Armageddon I'm well placed.

    I'm sensing a trend. The liquor store near me will soon have dirtwolf on tap. I will be filling many growlers that week.
