I sampled many Ales over the past week in the lakes, blowed if I can remember that names though!
Wainrights springs to mind, very good it was too. I'll do some research of local ales (to that region).

I can recommend Ramsbury ales made in Ramsbury near Marlborough.
Ramsbury
I purchased a mixed case just before Xmas. 12 bottles for £24. This contained 3 Flintknapper, 3 Gold, 3 506 and 3 Silver pig stout. I only have 1 silver pig stout left.....
I gave up drinking five years ago and have only just 'come back on-line'.
Really nice ales.

Been enjoying a few ales from the Tesco promo that was on over the Xmas period.
Some notables were Old Tom, Glencoe and Old crafty hen, (the last 2 new to me) and others, including St Peter's Golden Ale.
This last really impressed me...a fantastic summer ale....Will be keeping my eyes peeled for next time it's on promo, lovely stuff, easily as good, and perhaps better than any of the very expensive premium lagers I have tried (peroni reserva etc).

Membership to a (local-ish) Brewery was a gift at Christmas. I took advantage of it on Saturday and purchased a 3 litre bottle of their finest. Didn't last long, about 3 hours between me and the other half.
But, it did taste a bit flat. I suppose its already been poured into the plastic container. Suppose next time I'll have to opt for the 22pint 'lasts 3 weeks once opened' keg. Obviously it isn't going to last that long...

Tomos Watkins Cwrw Haf (translated as Summer Beer) is very drinkable as well. (Much better than anything Brains Beers can turn out
