Good Beer Guide

The Good Beer Guide is a book published annually by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) listing pubs in the United Kingdom that serve cask ales.

The Good Beer Guide is your comprehensive guide to the nation's best pubs: from sophisticated city bars to cosy country inns, there is a pub for everyone in this indispensable book. The pubs are all regularly surveyed by CAMRA members so you can rely on this being the most up-to-date and well vetted of all pub guides. Discover the best pubs to visit in towns, cities, and the countryside throughout the UK.

For each of the 4,500 pub entries you will find full details of real ale served, as well as details about food, entertainment, family facilities, history, and architecture. The guide also contains a unique expanded Breweries Section which lists every brewery that produces cask beer in the UK.

Get your copy: The Good Beer Guide 2010 is available direct from CAMRA (after 10^th September 2009). Priced at £10.00 (members) and £14.99 (non-members). [ Buy Now ]

The Guide was first published in 1974, and contained the comment on Watneys brewery: "Avoid like the plague", which generated a lot of media attention and caused the publisher, Waddington, to recall the first print run and revise the description to "Avoid at all costs".
