Campaign for Real AleThe Campaign for Real Ale: CAMRA
The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) is an independent, voluntary, consumer organisation based in St Albans, England, whose main aim is promoting real ale and the traditional British pub. It is now the largest single-issue consumer group in the UK and is a founding member of the European Beer Consumers' Union (EBCU).
CAMRA's campaigns include promoting small brewing and pub businesses, reforming licensing laws, reducing tax on beer, and stopping continued consolidation among local British brewers. It also makes an effort to promote less common varieties of beer and other traditionally brewed beverages including stout, porter, mild, traditional cider, and perry.
