The 2026 edition of the UK’s best-selling beer and pub guide has been revealed, featuring top watering holes around the county.
The Good Beer Guide, which surveys 4,500 pubs, is considered to be the ‘definitive beer drinker’s guide’ for those seeking the best pints in the nation’s pubs and is published annually by The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).
To celebrate this month’s release of the latest ‘drinker’s bible’, we have chosen ten brilliant Lancashire pubs that feature in the 2026 guide.
