The Good Beer Guide is published each year and details the pubs considered the best cask ale hostelries in the country, along with a list of UK cask ale brewers and tasting notes on their beers.
Members of the local CAMRA group assess the pubs in their area and put forward the ones they feel the best cask ale pubs.
Doug told The Standard: “It is fantastic that we have so many great pubs in our area to choose from and, because of that, have some strong representatives in this year’s edition.
“Congratulations to all the pubs which have made it into this year’s Good Beer Guide.”
