The Campaign for Real Ale’s (CAMRA) Good Beer Guide – the UK’s best-selling beer and pub guide – is celebrating its 52nd edition with not one, but two covers featuring two of the country’s favourite locals: Coronation Street’s Rovers Return Inn and Emmerdale’s Woolpack.
The guide, which lists 4,500 of the best pubs across the country, is the definitive beer drinker’s guide for those seeking the best pints in the nations’ pubs.
Despite the tough trading environment facing a lot of licensees, they continue to battle against the odds, and the 2025 Guide boasts over 900 pubs that are new to this edition.
Ash Corbett-Collins, Chairman of CAMRA, said: “The Rovers Return Inn and the Woolpack represent the UK’s love of their local, and to have them featured on the covers for this year’s Guide is very exciting.
“CAMRA’s mission is to ensure support from the Government as well as tangible legislation to protect pubs in this country.
“By next year’s edition of the Guide, we want to be talking about the beer and pub trade growing with the support of communities and parliament alike.”
