The
Bristol & District
branch launch of the brand new 2010 edition of the Good Beer Guide will
take place on Thursday 10 September 2009. The venue is the Bank pub
in John
Street, central Bristol and the event runs from 12:00
noon through
until
7pm. John Street is a small street that runs
between Broad Street and All Saints Lane – it is about one
minute’s
walk from St Augustines Parade and two minutes from Corn Street. The
Bank is an excellent small pub that now specialises in offering a
good selection of changing real ales and ciders in a very convivial
atmosphere. Good food is served lunchtimes. Parking is not easy in
this area though.
The
Good Beer Guide is regarded
as CAMRA's flagship product and often described as the "beer drinker's
Bible". It seeks to identify the 4,500 pubs in the UK consistently
serving the best quality real ale and is researched by unpaid CAMRA
volunteers.

Competition
for spaces is tough these days and for our own branch area we have 11
new entries, which means that 11 other pubs have had to be left out,
including some long standing regular entries. In fact there were 17
pubs that were viewed to be good enough for entry to the guide,but that
had to be left out due to space restrictions. This means that entry
into the guide is now more prestigous than ever and that the entries
really do reflect the best of the best.
Not
only will this be the first chance to buy the 2010 Good Beer Guide
but we have decided to offer a special one-off price for the launch
event only. The normal
cover price is £15.99, but on
Thursday 10 September
at
the Bank only you can buy it for just £11
– and card-carrying
CAMRA members will pay only £10.
It
will be possible to join on the day and obtain the member’s
rate.
