Summary: THE pub guide to the best of British beer
Comment: My husband has every edition of this guide, and used to contribute to the reviews of our local pubs until recently. Lots of CAMRA volunteers each year are needed to survey the real ales of over 4,000 pubs comitted to preserving our nation's beer heritage. Well, someone has to do it.
What results is an independent, definitive guide to the nation's pubs serving real ale. It's good for finding a pub locally that you've not tried before and comes into its own on holiday and weekends, when you're new to an area and need to find a decent pub fast.
In addition to the details of the beer served, the guide will tell you whether it's quiet pub, has a real fire, when it serves food, if it has accommodation and a host of other details in addition to a thumbnail sketch of each venue. A separate section provides information on each real ale brewery and beers, complete with tasting notes.
One to keep to hand throughout the year.

Summary: The best for those who like 'Best'
Comment: I have bought this guide every yeat since '96 and it is still the best guide you can buy. This is not a pub guide but a beer guide, the logic being that a landlord who looks after their beer makes sure everything else falls into place. It is also a surprisingly interesting read (really!) and I don't go away without it.

Summary: The Original and Still the Best
Comment: By far the best pub guide for the UK, easy to use good info on the pubs, maps for inner city locations, and above all details on what guest and house ales are on offer in each. I've found many a brilliant pub using this guide and its predecessors and hopefully I will continue to.
The only bad thing about it is that its not exactly pocketable, make sure you decide which pubs you're going to visit before you head out, because you probably won't want to take this with you.
