Last Orders - Lichfield, Sutton and Tamworth CAMRA

There is, very reasonably, a lot of talk about pubs in these pages. This is as it should be, because CAMRA believes that the environment in which real ale is served (that is, the pub), is just as important as the real ale itself. There is very little point in having the best real ale, cider, or perry served in an awful pub, and there is very little point in having a wonderful pub that serves only pasteurised rubbish. But it is, of course, not absolutely necessary to go to a pub to drink some real ale ...

CAMRA Says This is Real Ale This corner of our site is dedicated to Real Ale in a Bottle (often known as RAIB), or Bottle Conditioned Ales (you guessed it, that's BCA). These are beers that are brewed in the traditional way, are bottled, and are then allowed to ferment again in the bottle, just like real ale fermenting again in the cask. They are, therefore, real ale and are so much better than the other pasteurised bottled beers.
