The Good Beer Guide is the ‘definitive’ guidebook to help you discover good pubs that serve real ale across the UK.
Since 1974 CAMRA has produced a completely independent regional guide to the best pubs covering the whole of the UK and Northern Ireland with listings based entirely on evaluation by CAMRA volunteers.
With a unique breweries section listing every brewery – micro, regional and national – that produces real ale in the UK The Good Beer Guide is also an invaluable tool for professionals in the drinks and retail industry.
Now in its 48th edition, 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.
This is the complete book for beer lovers and for anyone wanting to find the UK’s finest pubs.
Tom Kerridge has written the foreword for The Good Beer Guide 2021
“…..the one thing about the British pub that separates us, is real ale. Our brewing heritage varies from region to region. The passion and the heart and soul that goes into brewing is equal to the top wine makers, distillers, cheese makers, bakers, artisan chocolatiers or any other craft led hospitality producer. It is something we should be very proud of……”

Roger adds: “This book is a result of decades of experience in the beer industry, inspired by my travels round the world trying the different types and interpretations of beer available. The World Beer Guide is divided into country-by-country sections, allowing readers to join me in dedicatedly exploring different brews from different parts of the planet.

Cider is one of the world’s oldest drinks, with a heritage dating back at least 2,000 years. It has formed an integral part of the landscape, economy and culture of many rural parts of the UK for centuries.
Both beer and cider now face a new change in drinking landscape of Britain – the rise of ‘craft’ and modern, discerning drinkers with different needs, habits and spending opportunities.
