One of my favorite (or “favourite” for the proper speakers out there) bits about the UK is that they’ve rediscovered their craft beers again. In most cities and towns, you can find at least one pub serving a real, hand-pumped, room-temperature ale. And this is good stuff, the multiple flavors and textures coming out due to the fact that the beer isn’t so cold that it freezes your taste buds, yet is still quite refreshing.
And this movement can be traced, in large part, to the work of CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale. As well as ale, the Campaign seeks to preserve the best in beer culture, including pubs that have historical significance. This group works tirelessly to celebrate some of the best in British, Welsh and Scottish liquid fare.
If you ever go to the UK, look for CAMRA’s telltale logo in a pub’s window - if it’s there, you can be assured that a hoppy treat lurks inside.
