Welcome to the website for the Nuneaton & Bedworth branch of The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).
The branch area covers the CV10, CV11 & CV12 postcodes including the Wolvey area of LE10, and parts of CV7 covering Arley & Fillongley.
We currently have over 380 members, all with real ale at heart.
Branch meetings at different pubs and clubs in our area, where we discuss both local and national issues. (check Branch Diary for details)
All CAMRA members and non-members are welcome to join us at any of these gatherings.
We try to cover most of the area over the course of the year but are always open to new suggestions.
BREAKING NEWS
Good Beer Guide app notice of shutdown
Following the launch of the CAMRA website, which includes free access for members to Good Beer Guide information, we are closing the GBG app for all users.
Members will have free access via the website and non-members will be able to subscribe for 99p per month. During the week commencing 18 August, no new customers will be able to purchase the app and when existing users’ renewals come up they will not be able to renew.
The GBG app will remain functional for the next 12 months so any access will remain for existing users during the full term of their subscription. Notices will be sent to all users over the next couple of weeks.
For questions about the app closure, contact: ku.gro.armac@pihsrebmem.

*** *** Handpull Hijack *** ***
Carlsberg Marston’s Brewing Company – one of the world’s largest brewery conglomerates – has resorted to misleading consumers by hijacking the handpump to serve its “Fresh Ale” product. CMBC says this is “preserving the beloved hand pull ritual that delivers the traditional theatre of serve that ale is famed for”.
CAMRA believes consumers deserve better than CMBC play acting at serving cask – a product they claim to champion while closing breweries and removing cask lines from bars. Our handpump hijack campaign calls on brewers to be proud of all their whole range of beers by serving them in a way that won’t mislead their customers.
*** *** 2026 Pub of the Year *** ***
The search is now on for our 2026 Pub of the Year
You can help with the selection process by submitting your beer scores through the new CAMRA website
