Four local pubs have been included in the 50th edition of the Good Beer Guide.
The Guide, compiled by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), surveys 4,500 of the best pubs across the UK.
It is billed as “the definitive beer drinker’s guide to the very best pints in the most picturesque and friendly pubs” and is compiled by thousands of independent volunteers.
The local pubs making the grade are:
- The Black Toad, 32 Market St, Hoylake
- Plasterers Arms, 35 Back Sea View, Hoylake
- West Kirby Tap, Grange Rd, West Kirby
- The White Lion, Grange Rd, West Kirby
CAMRA’s National Chairman, Nik Antona, said: “It is a huge achievement that we’re able to celebrate 50 years of publishing the Good Beer Guide, and a real testament to the hard work and dedication of our volunteers, who undertake the assessments.
“What makes the Guide unique is that all the entries are compiled and vetted by a huge volunteer team based around the country. We work hard to ensure that all areas of the country are covered and, unlike some competitor titles, inclusion in this book is dependent on merit – not on payment.
“The last few years have been an incredibly difficult time for the industry, and we need more support than ever before to keep our nation’s pubs open and thriving. I’d encourage everyone to use this year’s Guide to visit the very best pubs across the UK and support them for generations to come.”
