CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) has published this year’s edition of the Good Beer Guide.

Each pub on the list has been visited by volunteers who taste the beers to decide if it should go on the list.

The Guide surveys 4,500 pubs across the UK and it is considered the best guide to beer.

Analysing the very best pints in the most picturesque and friendly pubs, if beer drinkers need advice the Good Beer Guide is where to turn.

This year, five Carlisle pubs have made the list.
