Anything by Young's or Fuller's. There are others, of course but they're my 'go to' tipples and fortunately real ale seems to be making something of a come-back. You also seem to get a more discerning bunch in pubs that sell real ale. For me, Kronenburg and the like really is for when there's absolutely no other choice.
Don't get me wrong; each to their own but I like a pint with more complex flavour than mass-produced lager.

'It was of the most beautiful colour that the eye of an artist in beer could desire; full in body, yet brisk as a volcano; piquant, yet without a twang; luminous as an autumn sunset; free from streakiness of taste, but, finally, rather heady".
Thomas Hardy, The Trumpet Major.

Not sure this is the right forum, but Westmalle Dubbel is one of my favourites and Waitrose have started stocking it, currently with a 20% introductory discount.

Don't know if anyone has ever tried the Wye Valley Brewery beers, but they're awesome.
A couple of my faves.

I've only just found this thread and would like to add my thoughts and changes in tastes as I have become more aged.
In my youth about 15 years old it was Ansell's Bitter or M&B Mild in the two pubs I could get served in. Then as I became of age it was a whole new world to me. So Banks Hanson's Batham's (Still on the favorites list) Ma Pardoes (Anyone guess where my roots are) Then in the mid 70's when I moved out of the area Flowers OB (Original Bitter) became one of my favorites along with Old Hooky, and they served me well for a good few years. Then along came CAMRA and beer festivals over the next few years I drank mostly 4%+ Beers dark in colour. Then over the last few years I have swung back to the 4% or so Gold or Blonde ales, these are now firmly my favorites. I would not list them all but quite a few have been mentioned. My Locale favorite is brewed 8 miles away and available at most places in town.
