Why should you buy it?

Jeff Evans, author of Camra’s Good Bottled Beer Guide, said: “The Good Bottled Beer Guide highlights the breadth of fantastic beer now being produced in the UK - as well as traditional British beer styles such as bitter and stout, we are now very lucky to have international beer styles such as American-style pale ales and German-inspired wheat beers being brewed on these shores.

“From world famous brews such as Fuller’s Vintage Ale and Worthington's White Shield, to beers that use hops from New Zealand and America such as Buxton Brewery’s Axe Edge IPA, the range of beers is so great that there’s never been a better time to be a beer drinker in the UK.

“The number of breweries producing bottle-conditioned beer, or 'Real Ale in a Bottle' has grown massively in recent years thanks to an explosion in microbreweries across the UK.

"With more and more small breweries looking to bottle their beers both for local sales and in order to reach further markets, the traditional method of bottle conditioning – where live yeast is used to give the beer light carbonation via a secondary fermentation in the bottle – is proving a popular approach.”
