Welcome to the Website of Glasgow CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale in Glasgow and most of the West of Scotland! CAMRA is the pub-goers champion, we promote fine beers in great pubs and defend the rights of the drinker. If you drink beer or like pubs CAMRA is the place for you!

If you like to drink cask conditioned ale at its best then CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale, may be just up your street. If you live in our area then this branch is busy working to protect your pleasure. If you don't live in this area please visit CAMRA's national site.

This map shows roughly the area covered by the
Glasgow & West of Scotland branch. It doesn't look very large - but a third of the population lives here and real ale can be found in over 160 pubs in this area.

Meetings

Formal Branch meetings are held once a month in a suitable pub in the branch area. Socials are organised on the first Monday of each month and at other times, often coinciding with CAMRA and other beer festivals.

Message Board

Have you experienced something in the Glasgow & West of Scotland real ale scene that you think others would be interested to know? A new pub selling real ale, perhaps; or one where the handpumps have disappeared? A new brewery starting up, news of a beer festival - or simply a surprisingly good pint, or service beyond the call of duty.

Whatever it is, you can tell the world about it by posting a message on our Message Board. Simply click on the "Message Board" button to see what has been posted to date and click on "Add a New Message" to make your contribution.
