Good Beer Guide: 2000

Now in its 42nd year, this guide is fully revised and updated with details of more than 4,500 locations across the UK serving the best real ale—from country inns to urban-style bars and backstreet boozers More than just a pub guide, this is a complete book for beer lovers. Completely independent, with listings based entirely on nomination and evaluation by CAMRA's 150,000 members, it is revised and updated yearly. This means you can be sure that every one of the 4,500 pubs deserves their place, and that they all come recommended by people who know a thing or two about good beer. The unique "Breweries Section" lists every brewery—micro, regional, and national—that produces real ale in the UK and the beers that they brew. Tasting notes for the beers, compiled by CAMRA-trained tasting teams, are also included. This book truly is a must-have for anyone wanting to experience the UK's finest pubs.
