The Good Beer Guide 2021

by CAMRA, Campaign for Real Ale

Now in its 48th year, the beer-lovers' bible is fully revised and updated each year to feature recommended pubs across the United Kingdom that serve the best real ale. The Good Beer Guide is completely independent, with listings based entirely on evaluation by CAMRA members. The unique breweries section lists every brewery - micro, regional and national - that produces real ale in the UK. Tasting notes for the beers, compiled by CAMRA-trained tasting teams, are also included. This is the complete book for beer lovers and for anyone wanting to experience the UK's finest pubs. This year's Guide is introduced with a foreword by the Michelin-starred chef Tom Kerridge.

[Arthur Chappell · Rating 5 out of 5]

The beer drinker's Bible, focused squarely on real ale establishments throughout Great Britain, town by town, county by county. This is a particularly important edition, addressing the impact of Covid-19 on the hospitality industry which is only just recovering, but with many pubs forced to close for good due to the financial crunch of the biggest forced termination to trade since US Prohibition. That so many pubs are covered is reassuring, and there is a great forward by publican / chef Tom Kerridge. Entries are selected by Campaign For Real Ale (CAMRA) members in each town covered.

Usual standard but no opening hours due to pandemic which is understandable.
