Campaigning for real ale,
pubs & drinkers' rights
since 1971.
ABOUT CAMRA
CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale is an independent, voluntary organisation once (Dec 2019) with 192,289 members campaigning for real ale, community pubs and consumer rights. Down (Dec 2024) to a seven-year low of 146,5708 possibly due to the pandemic without beer festivals for renewals/new members.. But it could be that now members have been deprived of a monthly What’s Brewing paper and can only view information online that they find it no longer value for money? CAMRA acts as the champion for beer drinkers and pub-goers on issues ranging from protecting pubs from closing down, keeping the lid on the price of a pint and ensuring there is fair competition in the beer and pubs market. CAMRA supports well-run pubs as the centres of community life and believe their continued existence play a critical social role in UK culture.
