LATEST NEWS 12th May 2013 - Updated the branch diary, and added some more forthcoming beer festivals to the beer festivals page. CAMRA's recently launched the Fair Deal For Your Local Campaign - a major campaign which aims to persuade the Government to finally implement far-reaching reforms to the tied pubco model. The Government is proposing to introduce a series of measures to ensure tied licensees can make a fair living - resulting in better pubs, fairer prices and fewer pub closures. Please visit www.fairdealforyourlocal.com and get involved. 24th March 2013 - Our Spring 2013 CAMRA branch newsletter is now available online. n.b. - Several Pub Crawls are available for Torquay and the local area. They were first advertised for the National AGM in March 2012.

Welcome to the website of South Devon CAMRA, the local Branch of the Campaign for Real Ale run by a commited group of volunteers who are passionate about pubs, traditional ales, ciders & perries. As a part of CAMRA we aim to maintain consumer rights, promote quality, choice & value for money. We support the public house as a focus of community life & aim to increase awareness & appreciation of real ales, ciders & perries. Through our team of Brewery Liaison Officers (BLOs) we keep National CAMRA HQ up to date.

This website serves to provide information about our activities locally. You can find out more about who we are, our branch meetings & social activities along details of the beer festivals that we organise along with other festivals in the region. We also provide information about the growing number of local beer, cider & perry producers.
We are very fortunate in South Devon to have over 340 pubs scattered in the many towns & villages across our branch area, many of which serve a range of excellent real ales. Many advertise in our 3-monthly newsletter 'News & Brews' which is distributed to key real ale outlets in our area & will soon be available online. The best local pubs are carefully chosen by us & showcased in the annual CAMRA Good Beer Guide published each September. We also hold a local Pub of the Year competition each spring & the winner then gets put forward to the regional & potentially the national competition if successful.

We always welcome new members. If you are keen to find out more about our activities, help out at our beer festivals, visit local pubs etc. drop us an E-mail, call us or come along to one of our monthly meetings or beer festivals.
