The best real ale pubs in Sheffield city centre have been named in the latest edition of the Good Beer Guide.
The guide by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) surveys 4,500 of the best pubs across the UK and is the definitive beer drinker’s guide for those seeking the best pints in the nation’s pubs.
As well as this, it notes that 78 South Yorkshire pubs made it into this year's guide, 14 of which were appearing for the very first time.
Although no South Yorkshire breweries have been lost from the guide, the picture nationally is less sunny.
Although the guide records 82 new breweries, 142 have closed. CAMRA is campaigning for more support for the Government to protect local businesses, in the wake of a cost-of-business crisis and the constant pressure of fuel bills.
The Star was given a sneak peak of the CAMRA Good Beer Guide 2024, and has pulled together the top 13 pubs in Sheffield city centre and Kelham Island – and what experts had to say about them.
For the full list of Sheffield and South Yorkshire pubs recommended in the edition, order The Good Beer Guide 2024 on the CAMRA website.
