Black Sheep - only the draught stuff, the bottles are nasty
Theakstons OP
Barn Ale - from a micro brewery down south somewhere
Grimbergen - wonderful Belgian beer with a silly %
Speckled Hen
Guinness

Mmmm proper beer. I really miss it

Coopers Sparkling Ale

I'm tempted to try the Grand Ridge Moonshine Ale but it's $36 for a six pack at Dan Murphys! Ouch.

James Squire Amber Ale, James Squire Hop Thief or any other Malt Shovel ales are worth a tipple too. The nearest thing I've found to proper beer down here anyway.

I'd kill for a pint of Timmy Taylors right now.

Jesus. "Challenge Lager"..? "My Mum's Piss"...?

Speaking of which - beer drinkers may like to try Waitrose own cheapo shite. It's actually quite drinkable for a supermarket brew, the beer. Not tried the laagah, mind.

In no particular order:

Harviestoun Schiehallion
Kronenberg Premier Cru
Leffe Blond
Chimay Blue
Innis And Gunn Oak Aged Beer

However the list really goes on after this but I'll stop as I'm getting thirsty

Many years ago when I worked in kwiksave a bloke was caught stealing a crate of 24 cans of cannon lager. Total value of the goods was Â£4.20!

I also like ginger beer, but not any ginger beer, it has to be either naturally home brewed with real ginger or a bundaberg ... hmm yum!

Batemans Triple XB
Brakspear
Lightyear / any pale ale from Glentworth Brewery
BÃ¶nsch (sp?)
Beck's

edit: Ooooh some other Triple XB admirers. I can buy it in Morrison's here
and Aldi had a crate which ended up at about 1.70 a bottle I think

I'm also lucky enough to have a Batemans pub in town

As opposed to bundi rum, which is a good way to start a fight with a lamp-post that night and guarantee a good kicking (thru the face) from the beer (ok, rum) fairy the following morning. Fucking horrible stuff.

Personally, i think you can't beat a nice pint of TEA*

* Traditional English Ale

Dunno about the actual strength, I'll check next time, but it tastes nicer than the staroprammen I used to drink in London (never saw staro anywhere else).. There's also starobrno, which is a bloody nice drink as well..
