The Good Beer Guide 2025 - Now Available!

Last Autumn Milton Keynes & North Bucks CAMRA announced that CAMRA's "Good Beer Guide 2025" was published and featured fifteen of the branch's greatest pubs.

Our nominees were curated from the highest scoring establishments on WhatPub, CAMRA's public scoring portal which allows all members to score beers in their local and in any other pub across the whole country. Congratulations to all of our entries!

To see more information about the selection of pubs for the Good Beer Guide, click on "CAMRA's Good Beer Guide" on the left hand side.

Beer Scoring!

All CAMRA members are encouraged to visit any pub in Milton Keynes or North Bucks, sample their real ales, and then score them. It's easy to do, simply head to the WhatPub website!

Our Branch decides our entries in each year's edition of the CAMRA Good Beer Guide entirely on the scores for real ale that are given by CAMRA members.
