Now in its 39th edition, the Good Beer Guide is fully revised and updated each year and features pubs across the United Kingdom that serve the best real ale. This pub guide is completely independent with listings based entirely on votes from CAMRA members and no paid placements. This means you can be sure that every pub and pint deserves their place, plus they all come recommended by people who know a thing or two about good beer. The unique 'Breweries Section' lists all the breweries - micro, regional and national - that produce 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.
