This is a large hardback book about beer – produced in every country on earth and enjoyed by millions of people. It’s written for those who enjoy beer and want to know more
Beer is the world’s favourite alcohol and it has changed out of all recognition in the 21st century. The country-by-country sections will give more detail of the changes but the introduction will lead readers into the world beer revolution by describing the enormous power and stretch of global brewers – with AB InBev accounting for one-third of all beer made and consumed – with the counter culture of the world-wide craft movement. From the US to Australasia, charting the beer scene in every country, the key players, and the styles available.
Winner – Best Book about Beer and Pubs – British Guild of Beer Writers 2022
The book is peppered with delicious food recipes, explorations of the UK’s modern brewing scene and deep dives into the histories and unlikely origins of our favourite styles – all bringing it back to the context in which we enjoy them – not just the season, not just the weather, but the people and the places that make them unique.Written by 2022 Beer Writer of the Year, Jonny Garrett this book will change how we look at brewing and drinking beer, and increase our enjoyment of both.”
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.
Now is the time for CAMRA to produce a cider guide that sheds light on the incredible diversity that exists within cider in the UK today.

Campaigning for Pubs, Pints & People since 1971
A new Navy t-shirt inspired by the last 50 years of campaigning.
Featuring interviews with CAMRA’s founders, members past and present, and noted industry figures, and reflecting on both how the organisation came to be and the challenges it faces in its future, this is the inside story of the first 50 years of the Campaign for Real Ale.
It was rather a boozy, jokey, jolly, frolicking week which at the outset no one had any idea of creating something like CAMRA. Then, just off the Blasket Islands on the west coast of Ireland, we scrawled out the acronym CAMRA on the beach, in March, with the wind blowing sideways. We retired to a pub to drink Guinness and didn’t think much more about it. From that, to now, is quite an achievement… I think it’s all been worthwhile.
Graham Lees – founder member
CAMRA’s greatest strength has always lain within the ranks of its membership. No other organisation I can think of has ever had such a broad appeal to people at every point on every spectrum of society, bringing people together who would never otherwise have even passed the time of day with each other; people of all ages, background, financial circumstances, occupations, educational backgrounds and even religions. So refreshing. A common cause that united everyone regardless.
James Lynch – organiser of the first Great British Beer Festival
