CAMRA bars

At the Festival there will be twelve CAMRA bars. These bars will contain beer from alphabetically sorted Good Beer Guide regions (starting with Aberdeen & Grampian in the first and ending with Worcestershire in the last), therefore are great places to start if you want to find real ale from your favourite part of the country.

This year at the Great British Beer Festival, we continuing our heroes theme and naming the bars after medical heroes. In order to provide some practical support we have invited the Sue Ryder Care to be our charity of the festival.

There will also be a Young and Upcoming Breweries bar which will be offering some tasty brews from some of Britain's newest breweries, and the Real Ale in a Bottle Bar, offering a large number of the 1,300 bottle conditioned beers currently available to buy in the UK at present.
