12:00 pm: New Year's Day

The latest issue of the CAMRA Good Beer Guide is officially published today and, for the eighth year running, we’re in it. So congratulations to our team of volunteer cellar men for their continued sterling efforts that enable us to consistently serve some of the best real ale around and so warrant inclusion in this important publication.
If you don’t know about the Good Beer Guide, a new edition is published every year about this time and includes entries for around 4,500 pubs spread across the UK. Inclusion in the guide is determined by votes from CAMRA members. To quote from the current edition’s introduction on page 4, “Inclusion in this book is dependent on merit, not on payment. No pubs or breweries paid to be in this book”. The guide currently contains entries for 71 pubs in Suffolk. This is the same total as last year but 16 pubs have dropped out and 16 new ones replaced them. That’s a 22.5% churn.
