12 Years in the Good Beer Guide

WOW! We are delighted to announce that we are in the Good Beer Guide yet again - for the 12th year in a row and the only entry for Towcester!

Pubs get into the totally independent guide by CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) members giving each ale a score based on its quality.  It's only the pubs that get consistently good scores that appear in the guide, which makes it such a fantastic achievement. The GBG features recommended pubs across the United Kingdom that serve the best real ale as well as a comprehensive listing of UK breweries.

The foreword for this year’s guide - its 53rd edition - has been penned by Ed Byrne, comedian and beer lover. Famous for his #preshowpints on social media, he has posted about the various bars and breweries he has sampled around the UK prior to his shows.
