50 for me (plus I have a bottle of Alaskan Smoked Porter put away in the press)
Few dodgy ones on there....Hoegaarden....Leffe Blond....Mackensons Stout...Paulaner
I think I've only had 43...
It's seems like a not great list alright, no zombie dust or Pliny.
48. Too many American ones on there are impossible to get here.
63 (time spent in Canada drinking Unibroue paid off) but seriously there's some total sh@te on that list- Lindemanns and no Drei Fontenein, it's even got the Rogue Maple Bacon thing and no Brutal Bitter!
35 but i spent the summer in NYC coulda had more but just not enough time :(
#took a second look actually had 42, anyone ever have fullers porter is it hard to get i dont think iv ever seen it. or has anyone had shiner boch i thought that was dirt?
Fullers Porter is a bit rarer than London Pride and ESB but can be got. It's very tasty. They do Black Cab Stout as well but it's just ok.
London Porter is easier to find that ESB (in Dublin anyway). Tesco and Dunnes regularly stock London Porter....don't have ESB very often
I agree about the quality of the list and it's US-centric view for sure. Having said that, I'm at an even 100! Woot!
The comment about Zombie Dust was surprising I didn't realize it had such a following for such a local brewery (they're my "local" when I'm back in the area where I grew up; Zombie Dust is pretty much Citra beer perfected).
If anyone still has some Westy12 around from the Brick sales you can trade single bottles of Westy with Americans for a whole stack of rare American beers; this is what I'm doing with my second brick. I've got 2 Heady Toppers, a Jai Alai from Cigar City, and a Six Point Bengali Tiger (although I wanted Resin) coming in exchange for ONE Westy12; and 2 random NW IPAs from off of the shelf at the local offie -lol!

30, but some of them I wouldnt rate anywhere apart from down the drain!
Belzebuth paint thinner is on this list, also the two Rogue beers - 27
"World's Best Beers.Not for the mass-market beer drinker. For the true aficionado and connoisseur."
Doughnut Bacon Ale, seriously Facebook, I had it in the states in Oct and its as bad as it sounds.
So how about the best beers available in Ireland?
Or the fact that we didn't have any on the list :(

Agreed. 33 for me. Most super strong.
No Saisons either? shame.

What do you think I'd get for a 2007 bottle of Westvleteren 12?
