What is the best guide to find real ale?
The CAMRA Good Beer Guide is the premier guide to pubs that sell real ale. Published annually, each county is given its own section. The pubs are selected by local branches and there are natural biases towards centres of population and easy to reach places, but most gems are properly represented. The pubs are chosen by drinkers and the first criterion is the quality of the beer. Like any other guide, it is not perfect but for real ale enthusiasts this is probably the best guide there is. The GBG includes a useful section that describes each beer and the breweries from where they come.
