CAMRA lobbies for full pints

full pints!

The Campaign for Real Ales (CAMRA) is sponsoring a forum in which to ask your MP (representative) to reject legislation from the pub industry (many closely tied to the brewers themselves) that would define a pint as no less that 95% of a pint (or 16 oz).

The page also includes a full pints calculator to determine how much money you’ve been cheated out of depending upon your average pints of ale or lager consumed per week.

I love CAMRA and their reactionary fight to protect the sanctity of ales in the UK. But I don’t think their membership would fare as well here since so much of our beer consumption is in bottled form. I’m hoping that’s something we’ll be able to change in our own lives, even if those real ales are just my own.
