CAMRA - Campaign for Real Ale, Berkshire South-East Branch
CAMRA 40th logo

Welcome

Welcome to the Home Page of the Berkshire South-East branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA). Our branch covers the districts of Wokingham, Bracknell, Ascot, Crowthorne, Sandhurst, Sunningdale, Sunninghill, Binfield and surrounding areas. More details can be found on the About Us page.

We hold monthly branch meetings plus various interesting social events, as listed in the Events Diary. We also organise the Ascot Racecourse Beer Festival.

We survey Beer Quality in each of the Pubs in our Area. Based upon our findings, we select which local pubs feature in the Good Beer Guide and award an annual Pub of the Year.

We distribute a free quarterly branch Newsletter across pubs in the area. As the acronym for our branch name is 'B.S.E.', we call this the “Mad Cow”.

Apology: The last edition of the Mad Cow contained an item on the Queen's Oak which reflected one individual's opinion, based on a single visit and we would like to apologise for any distress caused.
