Centred on Stafford, the branch covers an area as far as the outskirts of Newport in the west and almost as far as Uttoxeter in the east, Stone to the north and Penkridge in the south.

CAMRA is leading the fight to keep pubs alive and serving quality real ale and cider.

We campaign to promote and protect beer, by actively supporting Britain’s pubs and breweries to get a better deal for beer drinkers.
At The Heart of Staffordshire Branch we are a friendly, inclusive bunch and have an active social calendar where members new and old are welcome to our meetings and social outings.

Campaign for Real Ale

What is Real Ale?

A draught “real ale”, or “cask ale” is a living product, containing brewers’ yeast that continues to ferment (or condition) the beer in its cask as it lies in the pub cellar. There's a more detailed explanation on the CAMRA website

Real Cider and Perry

What is Real Cider?

Cider is a fermented alcoholic drink made from apples and is produced in much the same way as wine; it is not brewed like beer. Perry is made from pears. There's a more detailed explanation on the CAMRA website

CAMRA Good Beer Guide

How are pubs selected?

It's all to do with Beer Scoring. If you're a CAMRA member you can help by scoring the beers you drink and entering those scores into the National Beer Scoring System

CAMRA LocAle

What is CAMRA LocAle?

CAMRA’s LocAle initiative promotes pubs stocking locally brewed real ale in response to growing consumer demand for quality local produce. There's a more detailed explanation on the CAMRA website
