The 2025 Good Beer Guide is out and there are pubs and micro breweries across the High Peak and Peak District which have secured a spot in the prestigious guide.

A spokesperson for Camra, the Campaign for Real Ale said: “This is a comprehensive guide to the best beer and pubs across the UK.

“Independent and compiled by beer consumers who are members of the Campaign for Real Ale.”

This is not the full list of Camra 2025 Good Beer pubs, to see all the entries the new book can be purchased via camra.org.uk

The first micropub in the High Peak, this is a two-room converted shop off Buxton Market Place. Beer is the main event here, with four changing ales from microbreweries up and down the country, as well as two boxed ciders. The objective is to bring to Buxton beers that are rarely, if ever, seen in the town. The enthusiastic staff ensure a warm and friendly welcome. An eclectic choice of background music on vinyl is played and a log-burning stove is a welcome addition for the winter.
