The Good Beer Guide
The main criteria for a pub to be listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide is consistently well kept Real Ale. Keighley & Craven Branch members regularly survey and nominate pubs in the Branch Area for the Good Beer Guide. Pubs are selected by democratic process early each year.
If you visit a pub in our area regularly and feel that the real ale on sale is of consistently good quality please let us know via our website or if you are a CAMRA member please complete a National Beer Scoring System Card and send via CAMRA HQ.

'Dales Ale' is a must for anyone intending to visit the southern Yorkshire Dales.

A useful addition to the second edition was a symbol to indicate which pubs welcome dogs. (Updated 6th September 2007)
