CAMRA Good Beer Guide: The Sheffield pubs named in new list of UK's best pubs for real ale lovers

No fewer than 30 pubs across Sheffield feature in this year’s bible for beer lovers, along with several of the breweries which have given the city such a great reputation as one of the best places in the UK to get a pint. CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide 2023 is the 50th edition of the popular book produced annually by the Campaign for Real Ale, to give the organisation its full title. As usual, it lists the beers served at each watering hole, along with information like the food served, the facilities available and even how to get there by public transport.

This year’s guide features 79 pubs and 38 breweries across South Yorkshire, including 13 new entries. In North Yorkshire, 146 pubs have made the list, while in West Yorkshire there are 134 and in East Yorkshire there are 42. In Sheffield, there are a number of relatively new pubs included like the Crow Inn on Scotland Street and Kelham Island’s Bar Stewards, along with several old favourites such as Fagan’s, the Fat Cat and the Brothers Arms.

CAMRA’s national chairman, Nik Antona, said the guide was ‘absolutely vital’ in the fight to save the nation’s pubs from closure, with many in the trade facing a huge struggle to remain open due to the cost of living crisis which has followed hot on the heels of the Covid pandemic. He urged people to support their locals by visiting them.
