The Campaign for Real Ale’s (CAMRA) Good Beer Guide, the UK’s best-selling beer and pub guide, has marked its 51st anniversary this year – after surveying 4,500 of the best pubs across the country.
A number of Peak District and High Peak venues have made it onto this prestigious list – and the full list can be found below. To order The Good Beer Guide 2024, visit the CAMRA website here.
5. Royal British Legion Club, Parwich
The guide says: “Sitting in the heart of the picturesque village, this comfortable and welcoming club is open to all visitors. At least three real ales are usually available, one tapped direct from the cellar room, and usually from local breweries.” Photo: Google
6. RedWillow, Buxton
Located in a former bank, the guide says that “original features have been retained - such as etched windows and the mahogany and glass office. Three of the brewery’s cask ales are served from hand pumps on the bar, and craft keg beers from various breweries are available.” Photo: Google
7. Ale Stop, Buxton
Said to be “the first micro pub in the High Peak”, CAMRA’s inspectors said that “beer is the main event here, with four changing ales from microbreweries up and down the country.” Photo: Google
8. Buxton Tap House and Buxton Brewery Cellar Bar
Buxton Brewery’s Tap House and Cellar Bar both feature in the CAMRA guide. The Cellar Bar has “four cask beers from the brewery, served from hand pumps on the bar” - and the Tap House offers another four pumps with a regularly changing range from the brewery’s selection. Photo: Google
