History of CAMRA?
In 1971 angry beer lovers in England formed the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) to combat the replacement of traditional regional beers with “mainstream” factory beers. Affiliated with the now 165,000-strong CAMRA UK, CAMRA BC supports the brewing of traditional styles of beer in the traditional manner, using traditional ingredients. The Society promotes naturally brewed live beers of all styles: ales, lagers, stouts, etc. Ever wondered how our Society began in BC and what exactly our relationship with CAMRA UK is? Wonder no more … visit CAMRA BC for the full story.
