Branch Diary
As a branch, we plan regular survey trips in our area, where we visit its many pubs, normally by way of minibus, sometimes we will combine the survey trip with a visit to one of the many breweries, as well as enjoying more social events as well:
• Meet the brewer & brewery tour (We have 20 breweries in Shropshire alone);
• Pub visits and surveys (For the annual selection of pubs for the next good beer guide);
• Inter – CAMRA – Branch Quiz sessions (Testing your real ale and general knowledge);
• Branch meetings: An update of local and national news over a pint;
• Beer festivals: Not only do we attend beer festivals, but we also run our own. It provides the opportunity to sample some of the best real ales made in the UK.
Here are our forthcoming events listed below – why not come along and join us?
