The UK’s definitive guidebook to good pubs that serve real ale across the UK.

Refreshed and updated for its 54th edition, it is fully revised and features over 4,500 recommended pubs across the United Kingdom that serve the best real ale and the facilities available at each venue.

The guide also features a unique brewery listing covering 1,700 breweries and 5,000 beers plus information about onsite brewery taprooms to help you track down the freshest possible pints right at the source.

The Good Beer Guide is completely independent, with listings based entirely on evaluation by CAMRA members.

This year’s foreward is written by Sir Ian Rankin. He, and his fictional detective Rebus, both frequent The Oxford Bar, in Edinburgh which features on the cover of this year’s guide.

How do pubs and clubs get into the Good Beer Guide?

The answer is that it is largely via beer scores submitted by CAMRA members from all over the country. So, if you are a CAMRA member you can send in beer scores, if you’ve ever wondered why your favourite pub isn’t in the Guide, this may well be because you, and others, haven’t entered scores rating the quality of beer there. By beer scoring, you can contribute to the process of selection of pubs that go in the Good Beer Guide.
