LocAle

PUB of the YEAR

CAMRA LocAle is an accreditation scheme to promote pubs that sell locally-brewed real ale.

The aim is to recude the miles the beer travels from brewery to bar.

The scheme builds on a growing demand for high quality local produce and an increased awareness of 'green' issues.

Everyone benefits from local pubs stocking locally-brewed real ale: -
Pubs - as stocking local real ales can increase pub visits
Consumers - who enjoy greater beer choice and diversity
Local brewers - who gain from increased sales
The environment - due to fewer beer-miles resulting in less pollution and road congestion
Tourism - due to an incresed snse of local identity and pride - let's celebrate what makes our locality different.

In the South Bedfordshire branch we've identified several breweries which we deem local enough to qualify for LocAle accreditation: -
B&T, Shefford
Buntingford, Royston
Chiltern, Terrick (nr Wendover)
Concrete Cow, Milton Keynes
Potton, Potton
Tring, Tring
Wells & Youngs, Bedford
White Park, Cranfield

Look out for the window-stickers and pump-clip headers identifying locally-brewed ale in local pubs serving beers from these breweries.

Please be aware that things change quite rapidly in the pub trade and whilst we try to keep as up to date as possible we rely heavily on feedback from pubgoers out there. If any information in this list is incorrect or lacking please let us know. Cheers.
