Good Beer Guide 2024

GOOD BEER GUIDE 2024

The 2024 edition of CAMRA's Good Beer Guide is the 51st in the series of this essential reference to the best of the UK's pubs.

The Good Beer Guide is the UK’s best-selling beer and pub guide and it continues to represent the best of the best in the brewing and hospitality industry.

With 4500 pubs, bars, and clubs selected by unpaid volunteers up and down the country, this is the best guide for pubgoers interested in being served a good pint of real ale as well as those who wish to find a local near them that is welcoming and has many other benefits that may appeal.

Each entry contains a short description as well as details of regular beers that can be linked to the brewery section to discover local beers, as well as some treasured national favourites.

This guide is compiled by consumers for consumers and is the most independent and complete guide to find good beer.

This year, the book has broken with the traditional cover to feature the iconic image and typeface of Iron Maiden, the band led by Bruce Dickinson, who is an English singer, songwriter, musician, airline pilot, entrepreneur, author, and broadcaster. He is best known for being the lead singer of Iron Maiden as well as being an avid drinker of real ale, so much so that his collaboration with Robinsons Brewery has produced one of the most iconic and well-known beers in the UK – Trooper. Bruce has written the foreword to the Guide.

The Guide has been fully researched and pubs inspected by CAMRA volunteers. Many pubs are still trying to settle on their opening times and meal times so CAMRA has avoided entering opening hours as these may change during the currency of the Guide. CAMRA recommends that customers phone the pubs to avoid long wasted journeys if unsure. All pubs have a phone number listed.
