About the Campaign for Real Ale
CAMRA was formed in March 1971 by four men, in the present day, CAMRA has around 160,000 members across the world, and has been described as the most successful consumer campaign in Europe.
Our vision is to have quality real ale, cider and perry and thriving pubs in every community. Our mission is to promote and advocate:
- the production, availability and consumption of quality real ale, cider and perry
- pubs and clubs as social centres and part of the UK’s cultural heritage
- the benefits of responsible social drinking
We do this by supporting and encouraging the beer and pubs trade by running beer festivals, lobbying Government for change, running numerous awards and developing bespoke pub finders and guides.
There’s plenty for everyone, whether you’re a dedicated campaigner, a beer connoisseur looking to learn more about beer or just want to meet up with friends in your local. Why not join the beer movement?
