GREETINGS
 

Welcome to the not particularly weird nor wonderful world of Chester & South Clwyd CAMRA branch. We are just one of many branches of the Campaign for Real Ale - a consumer group of over 145,000 members whose collective aim is the promotion of traditional cask ale as opposed to nasty fizzy keg and the downright unpleasant smoothflow nonsense.

BEER GARDENS
 

The summer has arrived. Time to tear yourself away from the usual haunts and get out and shiver at the unseasonal cool winds, gaze in frustration at the ceaseless slate grey banks of rain-bearing nimbostratus and huddle underneath a parasol discussing the position of the jet stream. In case the sun does pop through, here are a few beer gardens across our branch area to inspire you ...
