Our branch magazine, Channel Draught, is published at regular intervals throughout the year. It’s full of great information about real ale, breweries, pub news, articles, social events, a crossword and much more.

The magazine is available in real ale pubs across our branch, and don’t worry if you don’t get your hands on the printed edition. We’ll always load the electronic edition on our website.

If you have some pub news you think would be of interest to the other readers, or have some comments about the magazine itself, then please email the editor at ku.gro.armac.sdd@thguard.lennahc
