The Real Ale Farm in Bargoed, Rhymney Valley, has again been one of the top four clubs in the country in CAMRA’s Club of the Year awards for the second year in a row.

Housed in the oldest surviving building in the town, the Real Ale Farm offers a range of quality beer which has been selected for flavour and interest. The club aims to promote local producers and brewers of real ale, cider and perry, and hosts numerous charity events as well as the occasional beer festival.

The CAMRA Club of the Year competition is run in conjunction with Club Mirror magazine, with the simple aim of finding the clubs with the greatest commitment to quality real ale – those which offer a fantastic atmosphere, welcoming surroundings and most importantly, top quality real ale served in great condition. Clubs are nominated by CAMRA branches across the country and judged by a panel of volunteer CAMRA members throughout the year.

[/aoa]Keith Spencer, Club of the Year Co-ordinator said:

“A club is the ultimate community asset; it is created by the community for the community it serves. This competition is a great way of recognising our clubs and raising awareness about the good work that they do.”

Other finalists in the competition include the Appleton Thorn Village Hall near Warrington; the Canine Club, Accrington; and the Egham United Services Club, Egham.

The four finalists were presented with a commemorative plate at the recent Club Mirror Awards. They will now have to wait until spring 2019 to discover which will be named CAMRA’s Club of the Year.
