So the other week it was your top ten UK and Ireland Breweries. I thought this time it would be good to extend this over Europe. So…
What are your top 10 European, but not UK and Ireland Brerweries?
Any surprises?
Again after a week if anyone else has posted a top ten I will compile an overall list.

I’m happy with those, a good mix of trad and modern crazy.

Not sure my stats should count - I only have two with over 5 ratings!
For what it’s worth:
(If the Channel Islands count, I can also add in Liberation (5) 2.96 Jersey)

I might be a bit ‘Old School’ by the looks of mine.

Mostly German stuff. Surprised to see Septem among my top 10 (seems like I was very pleased to be able to drink something besides macro on my last trip to Cyprus). It’s a shame that the overall brewery score was removed. It would be interesting to see the overall rating vs. our own ratings.

Gueuzerie Tilquin (Belgium) 7 @ 3.87
Jopen (Netherlands) 6 @ 3.86
Põhjala (Estonia) 16 @ 3.77
Omnipollo (Sweden) 6 @ 3.75
Sori (Estonia) 5 @ 3.7
Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan (Germany) 5 @ 3.7
Uiltje (Netherlands) 5 @ 3.68
Lervig (Norway) 6 @ 3.66
Schneider Weisse (Germany) 5 @ 3.64
Brouwerij Oud Beersel (Belgium) 6 @ 3.63
So most of them qualify with the bare minimum. Surprised at Sori - although some were in the first stop of my 40th weekend in Helsinki so may have benefitted from my particularly good mood at the time.

Ha @YantarCoast I have enjoyed some Septem beers, it’s OK to like Greek stuff. I also noticed we have a few of the same breweries in our top 10’s; we seem to have similar tastes.
PS. I promise not to stalk you!

I’ve had a few Septem and found them quite tasty on the whole. Not in my top 10 but certainly reasonable scores.
