![]() ![]() “It is dangerously inconsistent for CAMRA to promote real ale as the pinnacle of the brewer’s art while simultaneously making it the cheapest beer on the bar … The policy also undermines CAMRA’s public image, as it promotes that which it was established to overhaul: a limited range of beers from large breweries, served-up cheaply by pub chains.” ![]() It has been co-signed by 110 breweries and in its most biting paragraph says: According to the authors, the vouchers reinforce the idea that real ale should be the cheapest option on the bar, a decades-long issue that directly reduces the price pubs are willing to pay brewers for their beer. The letter follows a motion by Saltonstall’s local Scarborough CAMRA branch to debate the issue, which was rejected for debate at the CAMRA annual conference at Yorkshire University this coming April. Big plays, smart moves, and otherwise curious indicators of beer's possible future.
