Pub Visits, Inspired by the Good Beer Guide

This is my personal record of pubs that I have visited since I finally got around, after many years, to joining CAMRA - the Campaign for Real Ale

Background

For the last 30 years or so I have on countless occasions been on trips and holidays with mates that have usually involved enjoying a glass or two of beer at the end of the day. Very often the thing that has heavily influenced where we did this has has been the current version of CAMRA's (Campaign for Real Ale) Good Beer Guide. The CAMRA members in the group made sure we visited some unique hostelries and we had some very enjoyable evenings in everything from the smallest pub in the UK to a pub in Devon with amazing range of small volume, locally produced, ciders.

The Mission

In early 2023 I decided I’d finally better get around to joining CAMRA. The Good Beer Guide 2026 is the 53rd edition of the book and I've marked the pubs I've visited out of 5. These are personal opinions often based on simply one or two visits. A nice cool drink after a long warm day may see me give a better score than a visit to a pub on a cold, wet, dark and miserable day.If you want to get in touch, please use the link in the footer at the bottom of this page.
