6 Beers on your desert isle

I had to move this over from the thread about ESB's to give it its just due.

You are stranded on an island, and can have 6 beers only to get your through your time stranded there (just think lifetime supply, but only 6 different beers). What would you have one your list?

My magic six:

1. Rochefort 10
2. Bell's Two Hearted Ale
3. Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout
4. Founder's Reds Rye
5. Gouden Carolus D'or
6. Ayinger Celebrator

And that was tough stopping at six!

On behalf of my boyfriend, John:

Unibroue: La Fin Du Monde
Unibroue: Terrible
Schlafly: No. 15 Ale
Huyghe Family Brewery: Delirium Tremens
Clipper City Brewing Company's Heavy Seas: Loose Cannon
BBC: Nut Brown Ale

The six for my fix:

1. New Belgium 1554 Black Ale
2. Heavy Sea's Loose Cannon Pale
3. Oak-Aged Arrogant Bastard
4. Bell's Double Cream Stout
5. New Holland Kolsch, hey, it gets hot on a desert island, gotta have something light!!!!
6. Schneider Weisse

Man, it's really hard to pick six between US craft and imports......it is tough to stop at 6. I kept wanting to say "this or maybe this"...

Alright, here we go:

Bell's Oberon, for the odd day when I'm not in the mood for hop overload.

It's threads like this that make me regret being out of college, where beer for breakfast is much more acceptable. (Then again, I couldn't afford these beers in college).

Fuller's ESB

Chimay Grande Reserve
Sam Smith Nut Brown
Weihenstephaner Dunkelweizen

That's a great list! I'd be happy with just about everything on it for my own desert island list, although I might substitute something else for the Sam Smith Nut Brown. Guinness on draught, maybe. Or Duvel. Or Browning's Helles Lager ...
