Join us as CAMRA launches its Champion Beer of Britain Competition 2027 - one of the most prestigious beer competitions in the world. It is the ultimate honour for UK brewers and has helped put many into the national spotlight.

We want local CAMRA members to select the beers they would like to see go forward to the area and national stages of the Champion Beer of Britain competition.

Voting is now open and you have until 31st October to submit your nominations. You'll find everything you need at https://cbob.camra.org.uk/.

If you'd like to take part but aren't a CAMRA member, why not consider joining. As well as supporting CAMRA, as it campaigns for quality real ale, pubs & clubs and the benefits of responsible social drinking, there are some great benefits to being a member. https://camra.org.uk/membership/member-benefits

Every so often, we like to shine a spotlight on a pub that truly stands at the heart of its community. This year, we’re delighted to announce that our Community Pub of the Year is The Carpenter’s Arms, Coldred.

From the friendly welcome you’ll receive from Rachael and the locals - even if it’s your first visit - to the wide variety of events hosted throughout the year, this pub embodies everything a great community pub should be.

A thoroughly well-deserved award.
