These clichéd stereotypes, for most people, are all that they know of the world of real ale, or at least, think they know. And yet the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) is the most successful consumer organisation of all time. In 1971, four young men from the North West of England were on holiday in Ireland. Sitting in a pub they were bemoaning the dire state of the brewing industry in the UK and in particular the dreadful excuses for beer then being perpetrated on the public by the likes of Watneys, in the form of their truly awful Red Barrel.
