The World's best beers

I don't know about you, but I tend to like top ten lists. Not because it gives you the bottom line, but it gives you an actual list to agree or disagree upun. A recent issue of Details magazine has put together a little top ten of "the world's best beers." Here's a extract of what they recommended. As a little service the URL is provided if I knew it already:

• Best Beer Country: BELGIUM
• Best Beer in a Can: DALE’S PALE ALE
• Best German Beer: HEFEWEIZEN
• Best Beer for a Summer Barbecue: WITBIER
• Best Beer Web Site: BEERADVOCATE.COM
• Best Beer That’s Ripe for a Comeback: PORTER
• Best Beer Cocktail: SHANDY (equal parts cold lager and Sprite)
• Best Beer That Tastes Like Whiskey (sort of): ALLAGASH CURIEUX
• Best Stout to Drink Tonight: SAMUEL SMITH OATMEAL STOUT
• Best Stout to Drink a Year From Now: ROGUE IMPERIAL STOUT
• Best Excuse to Get a Hangover: DOGFISH HEAD FORT

The ten best thirst-quenching summer beers (according to Details Magazine) are :

• Ommegang Witte
• Allagash White
• Orval Trappist Ale
• Victory Prima Pils
• Jever Pilsener
• Paulaner Hefe-Weizen (sorry no link - crappy flash site)
  
• Sierra Nevada Wheat Beer
• Ruedrich's Red Seal Ale
• Dogfish Head Aprihop
• Victory HopDevil Ale

Sorry no room for Danish beer on the list. Logically the Dansih beers would be represented ig the list had been compiled here in the DK. Both my best and my worst brews have had a very small audience. It is the good old story about exposure, or 'I can not rate what I have not tried'. Denmark features a lot of very small breweries, and some of them make exellent beer that never goes outside Denmark.
