Loughborough & North Leicestershire CAMRA

Good Beer Guide

The CAMRA Good Beer Guide is packed with 4,500 of the best real ale pubs in the UK, and with information on every real ale brewery currently operating, and their key beers.

The perfect package for pub-goers everywhere.

The Loughborough & North Leicestershire branch submit the pubs serving the best Real Ale in our area for inclusion in the Good Beer Guide.

Currently, we have an allocation of 18 entries in the guide.

The CAMRA Good Beer Guide is available at bookshops, online sales sites, and direct from CAMRA at https://camra.org.uk/publications/the-good-beer-guide-2025/
