Local Good Beer Guide pubs 2014

CAMRA launched its Good Beer Guide for 2014 earlier this month. I wrote in July: 'The CAMRA conference passed a motion a few years ago that branches could not list all of the pubs that they put forward for the GBG in any of their publications or websites. They do all the work but are not allowed to use that information locally in case (the ludicrous argument goes) it damages the sales of the GBG ... although the motion did kindly permit branches to publish incomplete lists as "tasters".'

Well, I wouldn't dream of breaking the rules but as I say on my welcome page, 'ReARM is an independent blog: it is completely unconnected to, and does not speak for, CAMRA'. So here is a complete list of pubs in the Southport and West Lancs area that are going into the 2014 Good Beer Guide. Happy drinking!

The 2014 Good Beer Guide was launched on 12 September, and is 

available from www.camra.org.uk/gbg and all good book shops.
