Cardiff Campaign for Real Ale

The Campaign for Real Ale is the leading consumer organisation that campaigns for real ale and the rights of those who drink it. CAMRA's membership is drawn from across the world and now stands are more than 100,000, many thousands of whom volunteer large quantities of their time in furtherance of CAMRA's aims.

Cardiff branch is the largest branch in South Wales, totalling over five hundred members. We select our Pub of the Year from the hundreds of pubs in the Cardiff area, as well as contributing to the Good Beer Guide and the Champion Beer of Britain competition. The branch is also socially active, regularly organising trips and visits to breweries, pubs and other places of interest.

Published by Ian Hill on March 31st, 2010

Cardiff Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) is delighted to announce that the Pen & Wig, Cardiff has been awarded its coveted Pub of the Year accolade for 2010.

The annual award is made to the Cardiff pub which CAMRA's members believe serves the best real ale and has done the most to support the real ale drinkers.

The award is recognition for the quality the pub offers and its work in attracting students and young professionals to drink real ales.

It really has worked very hard.
