CAMRA Forth Valley is a regional branch belonging to the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA). CAMRA is an independant, voluntary, consumer organisation which campaigns for real ale, real pubs and consumer rights. CAMRA has over 98,000 members nationwide and 200 branches in the UK.
CAMRA is there to promote your love of real ale and new members are always welcome. In the Forth Valley Branch we manage to have a full social calendar and organise two successful real ale festivals a year. If you love beer and pubs and enjoy a full pint, CAMRA is the place for you!
CAMRA gives its Members the opportunity to say what their beer was like and we in Forth Valley use the results when we pick our pubs to go into the Good Beer Guide. Rate each beer you have from 0 (totally undrinkable) to 5 (Excellent - can get no better) and let us know.
We do need to get as many visits as possible to each pub recorded, so that we can get a fair average for each pub, at least on a monthly basis (but preferably more often).
