CAMRA
What we are asking CAMRA
Not a rebrand. Not a festival takeover. Help us find the pubs that already keep cask well, and ask them to pour a third for anyone who has never tried it.
Branch chairs and Good Beer Guide compilers already know those pubs. That is the foundation. A list of places that will write “first pint? ask for a third” on a chalkboard — not just for Cask Ale Week, but now the banners have come down.
Oxfordshire first, because that is where The Vine is. Then any branch that wants the same thing for their own patch.
Together
With CAMRA, not around them
CAMRA’s 2026–29 strategy talks about new audiences. There is a Young Members group for 18–30s and cheaper membership under 26.
I would like this campaign to work with CAMRA, not around them. They have the branches, the festivals and the Good Beer Guide. We have the pubs, the hand pumps and the first conversation at the bar. Between those two things there is a generation that has never been asked.
