Champion Beer of Britain
Its that time again, folks. Our branch need to nominate the
beers that we think should be voted for as Champion Beer of Britain.
These votes then get collated with all the London & South East
entries into a masterlist to be entered into the national list.
As usual we are only responsible for selecting beers from CAMRA's
definition of London & South East (defined as Central Southern,
Greater London, Kent, Surrey & Sussex and Wessex Regions, in case
you may be wondering why Dorset counts as the South East).
A website has been set up for you to be able to vote (log in details are the same as CAMRA HQ site)
Visit the CBOB Voting site.
