Real Ale in York SRP £4.99 |
The second edition of Real Ale in York, our local pub guide, which was launched in September 2010, is now widely available to buy. In full colour, with many photos, the slim, ring-bound booklet describes all known outlets that sell real ale in the City of York council area. Two handy, clear maps (one of the city centre, the other of the outer area) fold out from the covers. There's useful information on public transport and our LocAle scheme, as well as a comprehensive section on North Yorkshire breweries. It's worth investing in even if you think you know all there is to know about York's pubs! |

Yorkshire's Real Heritage Pubs SRP £4.99 |
Full-colour campaigning guide to the 120 or so pubs in Yorkshire and Humberside which still have interiors or internal features of real historic significance some of them stretching back a century or more. It is the first ever publication of its kind to cover the entire Yorkshire region. The book is the product of many years of surveying and research by CAMRA volunteers who are dedicated to helping preserve and protect the UK's pub heritage. This guide sets out to celebrate the genuine pub heritage that survives in Yorkshire, to share an understanding of its importance and to sound a call-to-arms for its better protection. |
Guided Walks
As a fringe event of the York CAMRA Beer Festival 2011 there will be 1½-2 hour guided walks with a local CAMRA member to see some of York's historic pubs and hear about their features, events and people associated with them.
