And I'm not even an IPA guy.

I would do a quarter of craft IPAs, a quarter pf euros, a quarter of dark beer (stouts, porters, black lagers etc) and a quarter of wild cards (sours, saisons, wheat beers, etc). Just me.

But as currently constructed there is a ton missing. I nominate,

Chimay blue cap
Delerium Tremens
Rochefort 8
Tripel Karmeliet
Westmalle trappiste
La chouffe
Orval
Leffe Blond
Pawel Kwak

... And I'm just going to stop there before I get to Germany. Or the UK. Or Scandinavia which might actually be as long as the above...

Yeeeeah, this is a tough one to do. Might have needed to stick to beer types, keep it general.

Now that's a list I can get behind.

Yeah, this poll should probably be cut into Big Box Beers, Canadian Craft and World Craft. The amount of beer suggestions is going to break the 'poll' function.

Seeing the size of the list and what it's getting to, I'm thinking 64 beers split between 2 polls and I'll combine them after the first round. I wanted to do beer after a few polls as I knew it would be quite the undertaking.

The 2 best breweries in the world aren’t even listed yet. Cantillon and Hill Farmstead.

Bud Light. IMO way better than Budweiser for for in the garage or camping

While camping near the border something I've noticed is in Canada, I love the Bud Light but don't like Coors Light. But buying from the US their Bud Light is pretty awful and Coors Light is significantly better

Coors light in Canada is absolutely terrible.

Beer style or best brewery is probably a better bracket.

Really should have craft beer separated from the macro beer. Two totally separate palettes and for the most part different groups of beer drinkers. Then you can cut out all the dislikes from people that don't like craft beer and vice versa. And, since 98% of all the macro beer on your list comes from one company you can call that one the AB InBev beer poll.
