Alcohol: 11.2%
Finding the incredibly popular Breakfast Stout might have seemed like a daunting task to Founders, but they did it. Aged in oak bourbon barrels in a cellar, this imperial stout is second to none.

No. 8 Celebrator
Brauerei Aying, Aying, Germany

No. 5 Heady Topper
The Alchemist, Waterbury, Vermont
Alcohol: 8%

No. 4 Rochefort Trappistes 10
Brasserie Rochefort, Rochefort, Belgium
Alcohol: 11.3%
The traditional Belgian Rochefort “blue lid” quadruple is one of the few true Trappist varieties.

Last October, the beer was the winner of the Belgian Beer Journal's blind tasting of quadruples.
No. 3 Pliny the Younger
Russian River Brewing Company, Santa Rosa, California
Alcohol: 10.25%

Only available on taps and only released for two weeks in early February.
No. 2 Westvleteren 12 (XII)
Westvleteren Abdij St. Sixtus, Westvleteren, Belgium
Alcohol: 10.2%

BierVision Monstein
Swiss Davos is the tallest city in Europe, which means that this brewery is the tallest in the entire continent. The city is located at an altitude of one and a half kilometers and is surrounded by the Swiss Alps, so lovers of skiing and adventure come here. And inside the former dairy farm, which has been there for over a hundred years, there is a brewery that positions itself as "the last stop on the way to heaven." Alpine spring water is used for brewing beer, which is also used for making schnapps and whiskey.
Weihenstephan
This brewery is located near Munich. It was founded in 1040 (this is 736 years before the US Declaration of Independence was signed), making it the oldest brewery in the world. The ancient monastery, which has been burned down four times since its foundation, is located on the top of a picturesque hill, and next to it there is even a beer garden, which offers incredible views of the surrounding area. As with most Bavarian breweries, wheat is the specialty here.
LeVeL33

Abbey of Saint Sixtus of Westvleteren
This Belgian brewery is said to make the best beer in the world. Trappist monks originally made this beer exclusively for themselves. They started brewing it in 1839, and in 1931 they started selling it to other people. But when the world's largest beer review and rating site named one of the beers produced here the best beer in the world, the brewery instantly went from being virtually unknown to being popular around the world. With only 126,000 gallons of beer produced here a year, you will have to work hard to get a bottle of the local ale, especially since you need to order beer two months in advance, and you will have to pick it up right outside the abbey gate. Not too difficult? Then you should know that there is a limit that will not allow you to buy more than a box of beer per car, and you need to make an order through the hotline, which receives up to 85 thousand calls per hour.

Since the brewery is 2.7 kilometers above sea level, it may be one of the highest in the world.
