Local CAMRA Pub of the Year competition
Spokesperson for the local CAMRA group, Alan Gass explains “There’s just over 40 pubs selling real ale in our area and there is healthy competition to win awards in our annual competition. At a recent meeting of members of the local branch the following pubs were selected for awards:
Overall winner –
Dumfries & Stewartry Pub of the Year 2016: Laurie Arms, Haugh of Urr
Area winners:
Dumfriesshire Pub of the Year 2016: Blue Bell, Annan
Dumfries Town Pub of the Year 2016: Cavens Arms, Dumfries
Stewartry Pub of the Year 2016: Clachan Inn, Dalry
The Laurie Arms now goes into further heats to find CAMRA`s National Pub of the Year 2016.
Alan Gass added: “Any publican providing real ale from the cask is committed to a great deal of hard work, care and attention, and will possess no mean skill in providing first class ale for their customers. Standards are very high within real ale outlets in Dumfriesshire and Kirkcudbrightshire, both in the beers always on tap and in the wide range of guest ales which prove very popular with both locals and tourists.”
“Anyone with an interest in real ale is encouraged to join us at our various events and play a part in local activities by simply joining CAMRA”
