Kottke links to two different most influential 20 beers lists. The first one comes from First We Feast and the second is a rebuttal from Martyn Cornell.

It’s hard to argue with Cornell on this. There are great beers on FwF’s list but you have to go further back in time – before the microbrew craze became legal in the US to get a sense of the truly influential brews. Technically, Matryn does agree with a few of FwF’s choices so it’s not exactly 40 but it’s close enough for me.
