The owners of a pub have been left feeling fuming after they did not make the cut for the 2023 edition of the coveted CAMRA Good Beer Guide. The Holly Bush Inn in Makeney just north of Derby had been featured in the previous nine years of editions due to its charm and traditional architecture but this year they were given an unusual reason for being left out.
CAMRA or The Campaign for Real Ale is a consumer organisation founded in 1971 which is made up of beer and cider lovers across the country. They put on festivals and publish books and campaign for everything to do with beer and cider.
On hearing the news that their pub had been omitted from the guide for the first time in a decade, the landlady of the Holly Bush Inn was less than impressed, especially when she was given the reason behind the decision.
