Don’t know about microbreweries, but at the macro level, outside of Guinness (as well as other Irish beer like Harp/Kilkenny), most beer I’ve tried from the UK is pretty gross (why the fuck are most of them so sweet and taste like they’ve been flavoured with molasses). I’ve tried:
- Tennent’s
- Boddington’s
- Newcastle
- Fuller’s

At the end of the day, the Germans/Czech’s completely blow the bongs out of the water when it comes to beer.

First of all, Guinness is from [real] Ireland, which is not part of Britain or the UK, so scratch that off your list. That said, apparently there just aren't that many British brews exported to the USA (presuming you are American). You might try Samuel Smith's (various styles) and Old Speckled Hen if you haven't already; Belhaven Scottish Ale is also nice. But it seems like the British import selection has actually been getting worse over time. We used to be able to get McEwan's Scotch Ale and Theakston Ole Peculiar in our region, but no longer.

English beer culture is its own thing and if you want the authentic experience then you probably need to go there and crawl CAMRA pubs. But on the other hand, more Brits may drink import lager these days (e.g. Stella Artois) than Newkie Brown.

P.S. If you're in USA, then the Newcastle Brown that you drank was probably not even brewed in England.
> Brewing moved in 2005 from Newcastle to Dunston, Tyne and Wear, in 2010 to Tadcaster, and in 2017 to the Heineken Brewery in Zoeterwoude, the Netherlands. As of 2019, it is also brewed by Lagunitas Brewing Company in Petaluma, California, and Chicago, Illinois, for the American market.

Have you had actual Newcastle Brown? Depending where it was made can change the flavour. Made at the Fed in Newcastle is best, Fed in Gateshead was ok but now it's moved further south it's lost it's crispness and it's uniqueness?

Every country has the same microbreweries that produce the exact same beer. It doesn't matter anymore at this point.

Go to one of the fuller pubs in London, the fresh stuff is nectar. They are also usually beautiful.

Fullers Honey dew from the supermarket is also nice.
