Other things to note

Votes will only be valid if your name and membership number are included.

As noted in our CAMRA code of conduct, any owner, licensee or member of staff directly associated with a licensed premise will not be allowed to vote for their own pubs in this process, as it can be considered a conflict of interest.

Please submit your votes to: chair@yorkshirewolds.camra.org.uk.

If you have any questions or require clarification, please do not hesitate to contact the Yorkshire Wolds Branch Chair.

We would like to thank you for taking the time to vote for this annual award.

CAMRA's prestigious Good Beer Guide 2026 launches on Thursday 25th September. However, if you are the licensee of one of the pubs featured in the Yorkshire Wolds CAMRA area, we'll be letting you know ahead of time.

Between Saturday 20th and Monday 22nd September, our committee members will be making their way round all featured pubs to distribute licensee packs. With a press embargo until 25th September, we do strongly request that you DO NOT announce your inclusion in the Good Beer Guide 2026 until that date.

We are also holding a launch event at The Trout Inn, Wansford on Thursday 25th September, which you are all warmly invited to attend.

Congratulations to all our local pubs that have made it into the Good Beer Guide 2026. If you'd like to know more about getting into the next edition of the Good Beer Guide, please contact us.

If you'd like to buy a copy of the Good Beer Guide 2026, or would like to sell it at your pub, we'll be getting a consignment of books soon. More details to come.

Mark your calendars! Taking place from Thursday 18th to Sunday 28th September, Cask Ale Week is a celebration of Britain’s national drink: cask beer. It’s a time for pubs, breweries, and real ale enthusiasts across the Yorkshire Wolds to recognise and enjoy local beers.

Cask Ale Week provides an opportunity for breweries and pubs to host special events or promotions. These activities can encourage new and loyal customers alike to discover real ale. The event, originally formed by Cask Marque, is strongly supported by CAMRA and the wider industry.

How can you get involved?

For pubs and breweries: Consider participating in Cask Ale Week by linking your own planned events to the celebration. You don't have to be a Cask Marque member to take part. Promotional resources are available to download, and you can add your events to the national Cask Ale Week website.

For real ale fans: Look out for events happening in pubs across the Yorkshire Wolds. Check the national Cask Ale Week events page for participating pubs near you, or encourage your local to get involved.
