The UK’s definitive guidebook to good pubs that serve real ale across the UK. Refreshed and updated for its 53rd edition, it is fully revised and features recommended pubs across the United Kingdom that serve the best real ale as well as a comprehensive listing of UK breweries. This is the complete book for beer lovers and for anyone wanting to experience the UK’s finest pubs. The Good Beer Guide is completely independent, with listings based entirely on evaluation by CAMRA members. The foreword for this year’s guide has been written by Sir Ian Rankin, the enormously successful writer of the Rebus detective novels. Famous for his love of the Oxford Bar in Edinburgh, a pub that both he and his literary detective regularly frequent. Sir Ian is a fan of Deuchars as well as working on collaborations with the  Caledonian brewery and Innis & Gun.
