The Liverpool and District CAMRA area has its first Locale
pub after awarding Stamps Too the status on Monday 9th
March.
CAMRA LocAle is a new initiative that promotes pubs
stocking locally brewed real ale. The scheme builds on a
growing consumer demand for quality local produce and an
increased awareness of 'green' issues. The CAMRA LocAle
scheme was created in 2007 by CAMRA's Nottingham branch
who, following the demise of local brewer Hardy and
Hanson’s wanted to help support the tradition of
brewing within Nottinghamshire.
It is now been rolled out nationally, with each Branch
deciding what their LocAle mileage, that is the distance
from the brewery to the pub, is to be.
Liverpool and District CAMRA have agreed that their
LocAle distance is 30 miles and that the
ale must have a locale identity, therefore we would not
expect ale that is associated with London to be LocAle in
Liverpool, even if its contract brewed locally.
Please open the briefing for more information on the
LocAle Scheme.
For information on local breweries, please check out the
Breweries page, pubs can put their postcodes into a route
map (i.e. Google, AA or RAC) to measure distance from their
pub to brewery to ensure it falls within 30 miles.
So far the following pubs are locAle pubs:
Please note that pubs need only have one LocAle on to
qualify.
This is an opportunity for pub ambassadors to encourage
their pub to become a LocAle pub. Any pubs interested in
joining can either contact their pub ambassador or Mel.
Once we are satisfied that the pub meets the criteria we
will provide posters, window stickers, leaflets and pump
clip toppers.
The pub will also feature on this web page, which we hope
visitors to Liverpool will use to find the perfect pub for
a local pint.
