I don't really have a top ten, but
Carlsberg Lager (my fav)
Yuengling lager
Miller lite
Sam Adams Boston lager
Fosters
Harp lager (good stuff)
Stella Artois
Harpoon IPA
And I have got to throw Smith and Forge hard cider in there.I love this stuff and often find myself buying this over every thing else. But pretty much I will drink whatever is in front of me.

This thread speaks to my first passion, great beer. While choosing just ten is tough, I'll give it a shot:
Firestone Walker Parabola
Goose Island Bourbon Brand County Stout (all varietals)
Cantillon Classic Geuze
Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout
Maine Beer Lunch
Goose Island Juliet
Troegs Nugget Nectar
Ballast Point Sculpin
Drie Fonteinen Oude Geuze
The Bruery Sour In The Rye
Thanks to the OP for starting this thread.

Guinness appears to be in the lead, with Boston Lager and various Samuel Adams in second and third.
1. Guinness from the tap of the Roundstone Hotel.
2. Guinness from the tap of the Guinness Storehouse
3. Guinness Foreign Stout when at home.
4. Guinness from the tap at Coleman's on Tipperary Hill Syracuse
Yes, Guinness does taste different in different places around the world.
5. Draught Guinness from from the can with the widget. Not a fan of Guinness Draught in the bottle. I'd rather drink from the glass.
6. Smithwicks when no Guinness is available
7. Hamm's before it was sold and then resold and then acquired by someone, who sold to someone else.
8. Olympia - an acquired taste when I was in high school.
9. Bud - gotta support those horses
10. What ever is served at a catered bar.

#1 is any draft Dusseldorf Altbier from Germany. It is not available in the USA as far as I know.
#2 Bass Ale Draft
after that there isn't much I like, though Coors Banquet is barely passable if very fresh. I have all but given up beer because of GMOs, which are in most of them. Then there is the problem of getting it fresh. Any beer that sits around long gets a bitter taste. Some beer, like Becks, is now imported after it goes bad. The same for Corona by the time it gets to NYC. Corona in CA is much better. The other thing to keep in mind is that beer is as difficult on the liver as whiskey, with much less alcoholic content. So, though I love beer and have been drinking it since the 1950s, I rarely touch it anymore.

Foggy: I agree entirely. In Russia, where any town of consequence had a brewery, you would see people lined up at the back of small tanker truck, or cart with a tank. They were filling their jugs with fresh beer. If the water was good and the other ingredients top notch the beer could be sublime. Of course the life of the beer was a matter of days, hence the block to block delivery system.
