LocAle is a CAMRA campaign that promotes local beer in local pubs so it’s good for the drinker, the pub and the brewers. In the York branch we define LocAle as beer brewed within 25 miles of where it is sold.

York CAMRA offers LocAle accreditation to pubs who commit to selling, at all times, at least one beer brewed within 25 miles of the pub. We provide leaflets, posters, pump toppers, window stickers and beer mats to help drinkers spot a LocAle pub and give the pubs publicity both here on the website and in our quarterly newsletter Ouse Boozer.

For drinkers: All the current accredited LocAle pubs in the York CAMRA branch are shown on the map and list below. When you are in the pub, look out for pumpclip toppers carrying the LocAle logo.

For licencees and publicans: If you are interested in becoming a LocAle accredited pub then please get in touch with our LocAle Officer
