CAMRA-Kernow Welcome Page (frames)

The Cornwall branch of CAMRA is well-established and has over 660 members. There are regular branch meetings and socials - and occasional pub crawls (we are a sociable bunch) - so come along, join in, have a good time and bask in the knowledge that you are doing your bit to preserve traditional beers from the oblivion wished for by the big national brewers, and sometimes it seems, the ever-growing national pub chains.

If you have any comments, requests for information, or updates on our pubs (even we are hard-pressed to get round all 650 or so) you can e-mail us at camra-kernow@cornwallcamra.org.uk or consult our Branch Contacts page to find the list of members who will always be pleased to receive feedback on relevant topics.

Meanwhile, to see what we get up to - campaigning, socialising, news including keeping tabs on our pubs and breweries, selecting candidates for the Good Beer Guide (and monitoring beer quality - very important, see also below), all those good beery things - have a browse around by clicking on the appropriate links above.

Have you been into a pub recently and had a pint of real ale you thought was absolutely delicious? Or maybe you thought 'hmm, didn't rate that very much', or 'well, OK, I wonder what else they've got'. Or - perish the thought, but it happens sometimes - was it so terrible you had to hand it back or consider pouring it over your chips?
Well, tell us - we'd like to know. To help CAMRA Kernow keep an eye on how Cornish pubs treat their real ale, you can apply a score to your experience and fill in a simple on-line form. Feedback from CAMRA members helps us to assess the best real ale pubs when it comes to choosing entries for next year's Good Beer Guide. Just click here to gain access. Or if you are not a CAMRA member (or are, but prefer to use this alternative route), you can click here.

Some 14 new pubs made it into the Cornwall section of the CAMRA Good Beer Guide 2010, nearly a quarter of the total full entries for the county. This is the beer lovers' bible - full details of the nations' beers, breweries, pub chains etc. are available in the Guide. Who brews what, who owns which, it's all there. The Guide is available now from CAMRA PRODUCTS or all good bookshops at £15.99. Of course, as a CAMRA member you can buy it at the discounted price of £11.50 from HQ (plus postage). Or you could get it even cheaper at a CAMRA branch meeting (as a member) at £11.00.

CAMRA (The Campaign for Real Ale) is the only consumer group in the UK dedicated to preserving and promoting traditional pubs, independent breweries and real ale. The views expressed in these pages are of course those of the authors, and not necessarily of CAMRA Ltd or the Cornwall Branch of CAMRA.
