The Good Beer Guide- Camra

CAMRA is considered one of the most successful consumer organisations across Europe. Founded by four real ale enthusiasts back in 1971, today they represent nearly 190,000 members across the UK.

Their vision is to have quality real ale, cider and perry and thriving pubs in every community. Their mission is to promote and advocate:

  • the production, availability and consumption of quality real ale, cider and perry

  • pubs and clubs as social centres and part of the UK’s cultural heritage

  • the benefits of responsible social drinking 

They do this by supporting and encouraging the beer and pubs trade by running beer festivals, lobbying Government for change, running numerous awards and developing bespoke pub finders and guides.
