Good topic [:)] I'd choose: 1. Utenos 2. Barbar 3. Delirium Nocturnum 4. Rodenbach 5. Gentse Tripel These are 5 totally different beers for any occasion, mood, weather, etc.

I would go for a variety of styles, to fit my mood: 1). Stone Russian Imperial Stout 2). Fantome Hiver 3). Pizza Port Frank 4). Hoegaarden White 5). Duchesse De Bourgogne

I'm going only with those I've had more than once and really enjoy. I'm also limiting the number of high ABV beers. 1) Smithwick's (My Staple Beer for the stay) 2) Franziskaner (I need a good non-Belgian wheat) 3) Boddington's (Smooth and creamy, enough bitterness) 4) Young's Double Chocolate (Need chocolate on the island) 5) Roche 10 (My Treat Beer)

Nice topic. Since its a desert isle, I'd want some favorites as well as something light and refreshing: 1 - Rogue Shakespeare Stout (a favorite) 2 - New Belgium Biere de Mars (a refreshing favorite) 3 - Fuller's London Pride on cask (or Smithwicks if no cask available :) because I need a good English-style session beer) 4 - Boulevard Bob's '47 Munich Style Lager (refreshing, with character) 5 - A refreshing Kolsch - Muller or St. Arnold Lawnmower (very refreshing).

A good topic, I could definitely live the rest of my life on these beers alone: Westvleteren 12 3F Dreadnaught Fish Tale Leviathan - <= Batch 4 De Dolle Oerbier - new 2005 recipe with the old Rodenbach yeast (hoo ah!) Alesmith BA Speedway Stout -------- wait, need one more: Girardin Gueuze White Label OK thats it...
