I am a salmon !!
The first three beers that came to mind when thinking about great beers were
1: Joseph Holts bitter, brown but not boring,had this in over 100 of their houses
2: Shipstones bitter,another brown beer but very bitter just like Holts bitter
3:Castle Rock Harvest Pale, Light refreshing and also bitter,i drink this on a regular basis
Good selection, but I prefer Carlsberg to Carling!Originally Posted by Delboy20

WE ARE THE BREADMEN - UP THE BEES 
There are a lot I could put down on a list,but if it is to be a top 3 here goes.
1 Marble Lagonda IPA . The King of Kings ,I could nominate virtually anything from Marble as my number 1.
2 Titanic White Star. Could drink it all night,have done several times.
3 Bathams Bitter. Converted me to real ale in '75 and their pubs are great places to sup ,the full package.
These are ales that I judge others by,I look forward to the time when I find three worthy successors.
For nostalgia: Fremlins
For pushing out the boat: Thornbridge Hall-Kipling
For being sensible: Larkins-Traditional

Interesting topic! I have had to have a good think about this one. I have decided.
Thornbridge - Jaipur. Might not be what it used to be, but after I had a month not drinking and then sampled this, some time around December 2010 in The Grove Huddersfield, my word it set me on the trail for beer!
Burley St Brewpub - Laguna Seca
Maui - Big Swell. Freshest hoppiuest American beer there is, and it's a can, which means CAMRA are very very angry.
Id go for the Stella

Much as I've tried to disagree and go for something different as number 1, I can't. So I'm with Mr Fastard on the Marble Lagonda IPA but have picked a couple of current favourites for 2 and 3.
1. Marble Lagonda IPA
2. Blue Monkey Ape Ale
3. Oakham Bishops Farewell
The Lagonda IPA has been a favourite for some years now so it'd take something fairly special to displace that but the other two will have changed by tea time.
