Not before time, some might say, CAMRA is publishing a book dedicated to the beer behind the cause, cask ale, written by well-known beer author Des de Moor.
Real ale is facing numerous challenges. Sales have declined, attitudes have shifted, and the rise of the ‘craft’ movement has only added to the confusion surrounding what real ale truly is.
That’s why, for the first time ever, CAMRA has produced a book that addresses the very core of its campaign. “This book has the potential to reset the balance and re-ignite a passion for real ale, placing it firmly at the centre of the pub and brewing industry,” says the consumer group.
The book takes the reader on a journey that explores the rich history and heritage of real ale. Discover the craftsmanship behind every pint, uncovering the traditional brewing methods that set real ale apart, from malting to conditioning and everything in between.
It also address the challenges that real ale faces in the modern world. Learn about the changing landscape of the beer industry and how it affects the accessibility and perception of real ale. Insightful analysis and expert opinions aim to dispel any confusion and shed light on what makes real ale truly special.
