Real Ale in York

A comprehensive guide to Real Ale in the City of York Are you looking for a good pint? Then this is the book for you. All the 160 pubs in York and its surrounding villages serving real ale are described with maps and many photos.

Surveyed entirely by volunteer members of CAMRA to give you an independent view of the city’s pubs. This local CAMRA guide was launched at the York Beer Festival on 1st November 2007 and is now available to purchase.

The guide is professionally printed in full colour with many photos. It is a 100 page pocket-sized book, which describes all known outlets that sell real ale in the City of York council area. There are handy fold-out maps of the city centre and outer area to show you where the pubs are.

Karen Hannah, guide editor, said “In York we are lucky to have many more excellent pubs than there is room for in CAMRA’s national publication, the Good Beer Guide,, so a local guide seemed to be the best way to show people where to find more great beer in and around York”.

The guide contains information on all North Yorkshire breweries and other breweries whose beers you are likely to find in York. Public transport information is also included to allow you to discover the country pubs without using a car.

The price is only £3.99.
