Yeah, this is like "pints of mild" in 1980s old man pubs in the North. I am skeptical such beers exist now in any mainstream pub or bar.

Boddy's was a staple back up north until the Manchester brewery at Strangeways shut down. Going back a fair while now though.

Feels like these days the selection of cask ale is more limited but you have more variations on an IPA than you can shake a stick at.
