CAMRA is continuing to run online sessions and this summer they will be repeating the very popular ‘CAMRA’s New Beer Styles’ and ‘CAMRA Tasting Panels – what they do’.
CAMRA’S NEW BEER STYLES
CAMRA is only too aware that beer styles in the UK aren’t static. You only have to look at the growth of American Pale Ales, golden ales and foreign beer styles such as sours to be aware of what a great time it is to be a beer drinker. To reflect these changes, but also continue to campaign for endangered traditional beer styles, CAMRA has reviewed the styles and categories they will be using for judging its prestigious Champion Beer of Britain competition from next year.
In September all CAMRA members will be asked to participate in online voting to decide which beers in their region should go forward for judging. These online sessions will assist people to understand the new judging categories and thus make more informed decisions. They are free but you are asked to purchase five beers locally to fully participate. There are four sessions (open to both members and non members):
Friday 13 August 3.30 to 6pm book: https://tinyurl.com/beer-styles-1
Saturday 21 August 3.30 to 6pm book: https://tinyurl.com/beer-styles-2
Saturday 4 September 11am to 1.30pm book: https://tinyurl.com/beer-styles-3
Saturday 11 September 11am to 1.30pm book: https://tinyurl.com/beer-styles-4
CAMRA TASTING PANELS
CAMRA has a number of tasting panels around the country and each panel has input into CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide beer descriptions and puts beers forward to the Champion Beer of Britain competition. This online session will help you to understand what they do as well as giving you an opportunity to try creating beer descriptions yourself. It is open only to members. Again, it is free but people are asked to purchase three beers locally. Saturday, 18 September 2021 4:00pm to 6pm book: https://tinyurl.com/tasting-panels
