The guide, which features 4,500 of the best pubs nationwide, is a must-have for beer enthusiasts seeking top-quality pints across the UK.

This year’s edition highlights eight popular Bromley pubs that have made the prestigious list.

Despite a challenging economic climate, over 900 new pubs have been added to the 2024 guide, thanks to the hard work of licensees and pub lovers.

Compiled by thousands of CAMRA volunteers, the Good Beer Guide showcases the vibrant pub and social club culture at risk of being lost.
