The 33 pubs in Kent you have to drink at in 2020 according to CAMRA.
In total Kent has heaps of pubs listed in the guide and, while 33 of
these are new entries, others have appeared in previous editions of the
guide.
A total of 33 pubs from around Kent make up the new entries that feature
in the 2020 edition of the Good Beer Guide.
The guide is produced annually by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), the
independent guide to the best boozers in the UK that is researched by
unpaid and independent volunteers nationwide.
Tom Stainer, CAMRA’s chief executive, said: “For nearly five decades,
the Good Beer Guide has been a comprehensive guide to the UK’s
breweries, their ales, and the best outlets to find them in across the
country.
“What makes the Guide unique is that all the entries are compiled and
vetted by a huge volunteer team, based around the country. We work hard
to ensure that all areas of the country are covered and, unlike with
some competitor titles, inclusion in this book is dependent only on
merit, not on payment.
“The Good Beer Guide has always had an important role in acting as a
barometer of the beer and pub industry. We believe information gleaned
from the Guide is absolutely vital in the drive to save our pubs from
closure and campaign for policies that better support pubs, local
brewers and their customers.”
This pub is included in the 2020 list.
Bricklayers Arms, Chipstead.
What the guide says: "This is a vibrant Harvey’s Brewery-owned
community pub, its sign featuring Sir Winston Churchill, who lived
nearby."
