Celebrating its 51st edition the Good Beer Guide, which surveys 4,500 of the best pubs across the UK, is the definitive beer drinker’s guide for those seeking the best pints in the UK’s pubs.

Breweries such as Boundary, Hilden and Bullhouse were included in the list of 31 spots recommended in Northern Ireland, an increase from 30 in the Good Beer Guide 2023.
CAMRA Chairman Nik Antona said: “The last few years have been an incredibly difficult time for the industry, and we need more support than ever before to keep our nation’s pubs and breweries open and thriving. I’d encourage everyone to use this year’s Guide to visit the very best pubs and breweries across the UK and support them for generations to come.”
Among the bars and pubs from NI newly included in the guide are:
- Boundary Taproom, Belfast
