I used to indulge in genuine traditional British 'real ale' out of preference.
For example Fullers 'London Pride' and Ruddles 'County'.

The popularity of such brews was encouraged by the consumer organisation CAMRA
http://www.camra.org.uk/
which originated in and has its headquarters in my home town.

These ales do require careful storage and the like however and not evry pub is
up to the task of delivering them to the glass at premium quality.

As a beer to drink at home I often drink Holsten Pils.

ouch, an Italian beer outside Italy

It's my "low cost" preferred beer

just for reference we pay it 2.34 euro for 3 beer, the Guinness cost 6
euro for 4 cans of 1/3 of liter

the producer "Moretti" is owned by Heineken but still produce with they
own recipes and standars

if you find it, try the other beers from Moretti

"Baffo d'oro" or "Doppio Malto"

Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout

On a budget, Saranac Black & Tan

Woodchuck cider is also a Good Thing. So is Strongbow.

....And most of the beer/mead/cider I make at home, when I manage to find
the time for that, though some of the mead has needed years of aging,
during parts of which it was disappointing to terrible - but it got
better (not just better, but good) with more aging.

By far: St. Peter's English Ale, or their Golden Ale.
I've only found it in some specialy beer joints, but worth the trip &
price.

In the SuperMarket: MGD or Bud are the reliable standbys.

Some to avoid at all costs:
Ngoma (Africa)
Old Thumper (Should have been called "Old Dumper") -this might be the
worst I've ever tasted?
Kalik (Bahamas beer - tastes like the water there..)
...and anything made with pumpkins.

Samuel Smith's: Taddy Porter, Oatmeal Stout or Imperial Stout are
excellent.

I'm a big Dog Fish Head fan. Anything that comes out of their brewery
is normally pretty tasty and original.

On tap, if you can find it.

Harp is pretty good too.

Stella ain't bad for a change, now and then.

Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout

Almost anything by Abbeydale
(http://www.abbeydalebrewery.co.uk/beer.html). Black Lurcher (brewed for
the wildly eccentric Three Stags Heads at Wardlow Mires, Derbyshire) and
Absolution especially.

Harp

This ?

I recall it being sold in the UK decades ago but it seemed to vanish into
obscurity. I certainly can't recall seeing any for at least 20 years.

The best are always made by microbreweries. In the Germantown area of
Philadelphia the General Lafayette brewpub seasonally makes a killer
imperial stout they call "Grim Reaper". Highly recommended .

I used to have my own microbrewery. I made 40 pints at a time. Nice stuff too
when you can be bothered to look into the tricks for brewing a nice beer.

Vote by Proxy: (Friend visiting for the week)...

He concurs with St. Peters.
Although he also liked the St. Peter's Cream Stout, which I hated.

Berlinerweiss - See Wursthaus, Cambridge Square, Boston
Duvel
Tetley's (on tap)
and as of this evening, the Samuel Adams "Cherry Wheat"

His worst of all time:
N'Goma ("Toxic")
Old Thumper (see above)
Pabst Blue Ribbom Light !!
