This is tough, picking six beers. There are so many.
Like all brewers, I recognize good beer. Orval, Edelstoff, Pilsner Urquell, Westmalle, Schneider, et al. You know them because they’ve all been listed here before. So, I submit a different perspective.
Memorable beer is more than notoriety or—heaven forbid—adherence to style guidelines. It’s about time and place—time spent with friends or enjoying a great view or just relaxing on the couch with family. Beer doesn’t stand alone; rather, it’s part of a fabric. We should have a word for this—something like gemütlich.
