Whether you’re a committed beer lover or simply looking for somewhere for a festive tipple, the local branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) has got you covered.
Four newly updated ale trail leaflets provide an unrivalled snapshot of where to source a great pint across Preston, Chorley, South Ribble and West Lancashire.
From the hundreds of pubs in the Central and West Lancashire area, they have identified a selection of what they consider to be the best and published these in new editions of their popular Ale Trails.

Copies are free and can be picked up soon in the selected pubs in each area.
Adrian Smith, chairman of the Central Lancashire CAMRA branch, said: “We have lots of great pubs to choose from in our part of Lancashire. Our Ale Trails identify some of the very best based largely on scores contributed by hundreds of our members who love great beer in excellent pubs.
“There is a wonderful choice from historic pubs through to more recent micropubs. We think that there should be somewhere to please everyone.”
