The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) has launched a new version of its website. The consumer organisation has also revealed an updated logo.
The new website has been built in-house and results from thousands of answers to surveys, the views of focus groups, and extensive user testing. It has been built using a mix of open-source software and bespoke technologies.
For casual browsers who want access to a limited selection of new features, registering for a free user account includes access to the extensive database of pubs, clubs, and pints, the ability to use the ‘trip planner’ feature and view suggested pub walks up to three times, and the latest CAMRA news and events.
For those wanting to experience these features to their fullest, the option of becoming a subscriber is available at 99p per month. This includes extensive tasting notes for beers, as well as unlimited trip planning to make the most of visiting pubs and breweries across the UK. Subscribers can also ‘favourite’ pubs and clubs, adding them to their personalised and easily accessible list for future trips.
CAMRA members are able to use the website and all its features, as well as provide their own input via beer scoring, improving the ratings and recommendations available to them, as well as which pubs make it into the Good Beer Guide.
