Duvel breakfast beer! "When you drink a few Duvels, the first one goes down a little harsh and edgy, but once your palate acclimates to the dryness, bitterness, and CO2, it’s got this remarkably full flavor for such a light-flavored/colored beer." that's the rest of the day gone then...

What would yours be? No white whales please - stuff that basically well available
If I was picking my six (this is without paragraphs of tosh). These are beers that I've enjoyed for a long time and still do, so not all current faves but if I was stuck with only these as a choice I wouldn't mind too much.
Hooky Bitter, brilliant sesh beer, lovely stuff.
Samuel Smiths India Pale Ale, my introduction to IPA pre-craft.
Sammy Smiths Oatmeal Stout, best stout in the world probably.
Timothy Taylors Landlord, nice hoppy bitter pale ale, again another early in for decent beer for me.
Adnams Broadside, great strong beer, fab.
Duvel, desert island beer, one of my faves. Not for breakfast though.

A (current) six;
Nightmare on Bold Street (Mad Hatter) - beautifully rich porter.
IPA - (Samuel Smiths) - partly, at least, for the nostalgia. This was what I used to drink in the '90s, at The Malt Shovels in Altrincham.
Highwire Grapefruit IPA (Magic Rock) - Possibly the most summery, refreshing beer ever made.
Ysgawen - (Purple Moose) - Lovely elderflower IPA. I remember drinking it for the first time in the Black Buoy in Conwy, back when it was still a seasonal brew. I remember loving the flavour, but being completely unable to remember the name.
Inferno (Oakham) - The pinnacle of Oakham's hop mastery, I think - either this, or Dolphin Dance, which manages to cram bags of flavour into a tiny abv.
Little Bitter That (Brew Foundation) - a great take on a best bitter, modernised enough that it doesn't disappoint a modern palate, but still with a traditional feel to it.

Hmmm...top of my head
St Austell Proper Job - Really got me into hoppy beers as it's priced very much at entry level (4 for £6). I still really like it
Marble Dobber - a great brewery's best beer
Titanic Stout - This got me into dark beers generally. There are much better and more complex stouts but this opened the door
Vocation Heart & Soul - the weakest in their range but still crams in all the flavours
Cloudwater DIPA - believe the hype
Tiny Rebel Hadouken IPA - The best beer I've drunk

Best I've had and would choose over others for a repeat, in no order
Nethergate Old Growler - A nice drinkable stout
Punk IPA - No intro needed
Arran - Black IPA - really one of the best black ipa's I've had
Saison Dupont - Easy and refreshing Saison
Hittachino Nest espresso stout - a complex little beer
Sam Smiths Oatmeal Stout - Probably the best overall stout

That's missed off Harveys Sussex bitter which is by far my fave. Swap it for Oz Bomb!

I think it's good to have a decent sesh beer as a fave, this poncey stuff is all very well but there's nothing like glugging a good British bitter.

This is like doing music, or film top tens. Every one posted is a reminder of something you wish you'd been able to include in yours.

Anyway if I was doing my all-time bestest 6 rather than a nostalgic 6 it would be more like this...
DeMolen 666 - incredible stuff.
De Struise Pannepot - it's so good that it's criminal it's so difficult to get hold of.
Kernel Export India Porter - the porteriest porter that ever there was.
Fuller's 1845 - Strong British beer as nature intended.
Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout - as good as it gets, wonderful taste.
Duvel - if God made homebrew, this is would be his signature beer.
