Voting has opened to find the next Champion Beer of Britain.

You have until 1 November to vote for your favourite beer and put it in the running to be crowned our next champion using CAMRA’s members voting portal at https://cbob.camra.org.uk/ 

After a hiatus in the competition due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Campaign is looking for the next top beer from a revised range of categories. The beer styles have undergone a review, definitions have been updated, and two new categories introduced.
