Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
It's extending to ale now too, and not just the American "craft" stuff. Itsvbecoming a lot more common for pubs to ask us to make their handpulls cold For me it's the wrong temperature for the liquid, but many want that.
There are loads of great "lagers" once you step outside the generic mass market stuff.
Even they have very distinct flavours. In simple terms Carling is like sweetcorn, fosters is more vanilla, Bud is quite ricey
Personally I like my beers dark and strong, but I still enjoy a cold pilsner on a warm day
It's amazing how many different styles you can get from the same 4 ingredients.

Now you're over that side of the country keep an eye open for Salopian beers, mostly excellent.

At the moment, I've a couple of cans of Gamma Ray in the fridge. Trying to not keep too much beer or wine indoors as the temptation to bust a couple open late night gets too strong - which doesn't mix well with an 8 week old baby.
My current beer of choice for 'aving a pint is Bibble IPA from the keg. I'm forever trotting down St John to have some of that at lunchtime.
Favourite beers altogether at the moment is the Hitachino range, probably the Saison or White Ale.
Both Stella (Belgian Pilsner) and Budweiser (American Lite) are very good examples of their respective style. Not for me, but they are not bad beers
just like Duchess De Bourgogne is an excellent example of a Flanders Red Ale, Bud is the perfect example of an American Lite. Most traditional ale drinkers would turn their nose up at either of them
If you get chance and are interested in beer, and want to expand your palette its fun to work through the styles using something like the table below (others are available)...nice to have a couple of examples of each, even the commercial lagers.

On a normal day, I'm quite happy with Old Peculiar, especially now it's getting chillier outside.
If the sun is shining I quite like Scarlet Macaw from Oakham.
Last Christmas, and for this Christmas it will have to be Bingham's Vanilla Stout. It's bloody lovely.
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
