I've recently started a computer database of all the bottled beers I've tried, giving a description and rating etc. The list is a bit short at the moment though!
What does anyone recommend for me to look out for?
Beers which scored highly on my list so far include Hopback Crop Circle, RCH Pitchfork, Orkney Dark Island, Skinners Heligan Honey, City of Cambridge Brewery Holly Heaven and Black Sheep Emmerdale, but I'm always willing to try anything new and different!

Butts Barbus Barbus and Blackguard. Brewed at the other end of my village. Organic and marvellous.
Some of my favourite bottled beers are
Deuchers IPA / Harvistoun Bitter & Twisted / Arran Blonde (Available from most Sainsburys)
Fullers Honey Dew / Fullers Golden Pride (Available from Waitrose)

Darwin "Rolling Hitch" IPA - 5.2% abv (from Asda) (and others!).
Titanic Stout is an excellent bottled beer, with less carbonation than most. Bottle conditioned and great for sipping on a cold winter's night. I believe lots of Sainsburys branches are stocking it at the moment.

Freeminer Trafalgar IPA, COOP Goldminer, Freeminer Waterloo, Coop/Freeminer Bumble Bee - but then I would say that wouldn't I? Also try ; Coopers Sparkling Ale (must be fair, there is a little bit of good BCA in Austrailia and available over here too), Brasserie Henry London Porter (very rare but worth searchingout). La Becasse Geuze, FBoon Kriek. Don
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I went out searching today, and found hardly any names from the suggestions! I managed to get a Titanic Stout and a Hop Back Taiphoon. I'll let you know how i got on! I also got the Meantime Coffee and Chocolate beers from Sainsbury's the other day. The coffee one is lovely, really strong coffee taste, hardly a beer at all really, just cold strong coffee! Worth a try though. Thanks again,
Dan
Other ones, after you've worked your way thruogh those:
RCH - On The Tiles (silly "Top Cat" label, lovely beer, from Weston-super-Mare) St Peter's Cream Stout (definitely not thin as some St Peter's beers can be)
Few suggestions:
City of Cambridge Parkers Porter & Darwins Downfall St Peters Winter Ale Tindalls Mild St Austell Tribute

Got a beer related website ? Then get on the Beer Ring:
Shepherd Neame's new bottle-conditioned 1698, which they launched last week, is IMO superb.

Tried Titanic Stout the other day, very nice beer. Quite impressed.
