I agree that CAMRA (The Campaign for Real Ale) is a fantastic place to find great beers. I belong to the Victoria chapter, they also organize the annual beer festival. One of the main reasons I joined was so that I could actually attend the festival, since tickets sell out more than a month before the event.

Tikiwahini, Real Ale's exist in the US, too, although there's no real CAMRA here. The Chicago Real Ale Festival is an incredible fest (although I heard that this year they couldn't hold it as a real festival, it was sort of a Real Ale pub crawl all around Northern Illinois due to problems with licenses).

If you have any plans to be down in Hoity-Toity Land in Mid June, the 7th Annual San Diego Real Ale Festival is the 11th & 12th @ the Pizza Port, Carlsbad:

The 7th Annual San Diego REAL ALE FESTIVAL

WHEN: Fri & Sat, June 11th & 12th, 2004!. Starting at 4 pm on Fri and 11 am on Saturday until closing both days!
WHERE: Adjacent to Pizza Port Carlsbad located at 571 Carlsbad Village Dr just 1/2 mile West of I-5.
WHAT: The second largest collection of Real Ale on the west coast this year, featuring over 50 Firkins of cask conditioned ale served in the English tradition!
HOW MUCH: $20 to get in which includes a commemorative logo pint glass and 8 taster tickets. Only $1 for each additional 5 ounce taste once you’re inside the festival!

The great news this year is that we have twice as much beer coming for each style. This means that you can enjoy yourself without stressing out that a beer may be gone before you get here Friday...........Cheers!

Please bring a designated driver or cab it------you'll need one!


I went last year & needed a designated driver to find the car afterwards! Good beer, good size tasters, good food, beautiful weather, but they need better parking.
