Hoegaarden, Leffe and Budvar aren't English either, OP :) Although I do like the Budvar.
I like a pint of Adnams Broadside (but drunk in Southwold where it's brewed as it doesn't travel so well) and my alltime favourite was King Keg from Greene King, but I doubt that's in existence any more.
oh yes, Greene King happily buying up other beers/ breweries lol Don't know if King Keg's still around though..

I absolutely love a nice cold hoegaarden! goes really well with a nice meal too. Not everywhere has it but have found it here at A&E.
Yup love the 'white' beers. Leffe is another one I'm partial too.
Yes Leffe is lovely too!

popular beer - Hopback Brewery's Summer Lightning for a light beer... or any of theirs... Brew Dog beers are fab - had a few gorgeous "trashy blondes" recently... Have a look at CAMRA'S website for some ideas local to where you'll be travelling..we always take our bible - their Good Beer Guide out with us when looking for pubs with decent beer..
oh, and be aware..those weirdo's on that side of ditch like their beer WARM. Awfully odd :D
Only the softies from Darn Sarf, us from Oop North like it cold! :D
Actually ales and beers are meant to be served at cellar temperature, which is between 10 and 14 degrees celcius, because they are warm fermented and have subtler flavours that you'd lose if you chilled them.
Making me drool now. Oh for a summer afternoon sat outside a CAMRA pub...

When you go to a Public House just ask them if they have a local beverage and try a half! I think you will find the drinks chilled down south as well (hopefully!) :)

*whispers* Guinness is Irish not English ;)
Most places will sell the usual Stella, Carlsberg, Heineken etc (none of which are English) but the beers you can get (or do you mean lagers?) can vary depending on whereabouts in the country you are. Some breweries sell locally rather than nationally.
I'm going to UK this coming Saturday and I'll be there for the whole month of October. Yay!!!!! I like Guiness, but as you know, it's heavy. Which b**rs are nice and light, or good with a meal? This is educational for me. :)
