West Berkshire CAMRA
Promoting Local Ale
 |
|
LocAle is a CAMRA initiative that encourages pubs to sell
beer from their local brewers. Apart from anything else this helps with green
concerns by reducing the miles your pint travels. It also supports the local
economy and local jobs whilst ensuring that customers have the freshest beer
possible.
Everyone benefits from local pubs stocking locally-brewed
real ale:
-
Public houses, as stocking local real ales can increase
pub visits.
-
Consumers, who enjoy greater beer choice and diversity.
-
Local brewers, who gain from increased sales.
-
The local economy, because more money is spent and
retained locally.
-
The environment, due to fewer ‘beer miles' resulting in
less road congestion and pollution.
-
Tourism, due to an increased sense of local identity
and pride - let's celebrate what makes our locality different.
Currently the following pubs have achieved LocAle status.
