And in honour of the milestone, we’re sharing the local pubs recommended by CAMRA in its Good Beer Guide.
The Good Beer Guide, now in its 48th edition, is a guidebook to the finest UK pubs that serve real ales. It shines a spotlight on local pubs selling the best real ale from micro, regional and national breweries.
And they are definitely well worth a visit - once lockdown is over!
