The Campaign for Real Ale
CAMRA's mission is to act as champion of the consumer in
relation to the UK and European beer and drinks industry.
It aims to:
- Maintain consumer rights
- Promote quality, choice and value for money
- Support the public house as a focus of community life
- Campaign for greater appreciation of traditional beers,
ciders and perries as part of national heritage and
culture
- Seek improvements in all licensed premises and throughout
the brewing industry
- CAMRA also seeks to promote real cider and perry through
a sub-organisation called APPLE. Like ale, these are
traditional British drinks and like ale, the traditional
product is very different from the 'dead' version.
