On the Belgian side of my family, my great uncle gave me sterling advice when he told us that a common colloquial term for Stella Artois was 'Gnats' Piss'.
In Heortling games, my beer of choice used to be Theakston's OP. Excellent head for beard-drenching quaffing action. Since then we've sadly become more refined, and settled for the excellently golden Deuchars IPA.
[though we of course gave Batemans Dark Lord--not the American stout-- a go when we first saw it...]
With 8 bottles of many good real ales for a tenner at most easily reachable supermarkets these days, you can't go wrong. The only problem is getting anything from Lancashire--even on local tap. The last time I saw Pendle Witches* anywhere involved earth, dinosaurs and walking in some combination.
[*which people often object to on it being from Burnley, anyway...]
