Now in its 42nd year, this guide is fully revised and updated with details of more than 4,500 locations across the UK serving the best real ale--from country inns to urban-style bars and backstreet boozers More than just a pub guide, this is a complete book for beer lovers. Completely independent, with listings based entirely on nomination and evaluation by CAMRA's 150,000 members, it is revised and updated yearly. This means you can be sure that every one of the 4,500 pubs deserves their place, and that they all come recommended by people who know a thing or two about good beer. The unique "Breweries Section" lists every brewery--micro, regional, and national--that produces real ale in the UK and the beers that they brew. Tasting notes for the beers, compiled by CAMRA-trained tasting teams, are also included. This book truly is a must-have for anyone wanting to experience the UK's finest pubs.

UK based, England Scotland Northern Ireland and Wales, packed full of interesting facts about the history and the brewing of beer, the politics in the industry and over 4,500 outlets in all these countries where good ale can be bought and consumed.
It must be noted though, this is the Good BEER Guide, not a good PUB guide and some of the establishments where beer can be consumed are rough and ready, but I always think this makes for a colourful and interesting experience. Take the entry for The Tuckers Grave, Faulkland, Somerset, as an example. Built in the 17th century and other than the price and quality of the ale and cider, changed very little since. There is no bar, beer and cider sold straight from the barrels mounted on trestles lining the walls in a back room. And the till (the cash register) was until recently, a drawer in a Welsh Dresser.
The book lists every brewery producing beer, cider and perry. History, amalgamations, failures and success' are noted in some detail. Admittedly, not exactly bedtime reading, but an absolute pleasure to dip into when visiting these places.
In the last three years, I have taken to having the pubs “signed off” whenever I visit them. Having the landlord, manager, or even the most comely looking serving wench, sign, date and endorse each entry. This has become an end in itself and I endeavour, either on my own or in company, to get as many done in that year of publication as I can. In the so doing, one comes across real gems. Places that otherwise would have been too difficult to find, or so far off the beaten track to otherwise bother with, have been, once the effort to get there has been made, are more than worth the time. And were it not for this book, those lovely little life enhancing experiences would have been missed.
A brilliant publication, highly recommended – to those who have this interest. (
