IPA green in bottles forget tinnies for real beer, Ruddles & Hobgoblin are a good starting point. Although it's a stout don't forget the good old Newcastle Brown Ale (dog).
   & yes it is fine to chill them. The days of warm ale are long gone.

Wadworths : 6X
Arkells : Winter Warmer
Courage : Directors
Greene King : Abbots Ale
Archers : Supermarine

There are literaly hundreds of "real ales" that actually taste of hops and barley ... not pre-made frozen fizz

CAMRA has some good books and information

Ruddles used too do a blue stubby bottle...never see them now days.

Just the green in cans....such a shame.

My vote in for Fursty Ferrett...and i'm a Stout drinker normally.  If you're an ex-Lager drinker, then one of the Pale Ales maybe?  Marstons Double Drop?

If in a pub...well, depends on the brewery tied to that pub!

Defo stick to pale or light ales if coming off the lager. Some of the others you almost have to chew the goldfish out of.
   Good to see you've given up the Boy's Bitter. Stick at it, you'll find what you like & go from there.
