I'm a big fan of Elland's 1872 Porter (which was also Champion in 2013, and has won the winter beer title multiple times). I had a few bottles from the brewery during the lockdowns and was looking forward to getting some in the Plumbers Arms in Huddersfield when they reopened, but they'd stopped stocking it. Most recent sighting was at the Camra members weekend here in Sheffield at Easter.

In the Premium Bitters section are two beers that are hardly ever found in good condition in my experience: GK Abbot Ale (which won third overall, much to my surprise) and Bateman's XXXB. If anyone knows where they can still be reliably drunk, please let me know, as they are old favourites of mine that I usually swerve nowadays.
