A look back at some of what Leeds CAMRA has been up to over the last few months.

  • Old Unicorn, Bramley Tuesday 1 October 2024

    The Old Unicorn in Bramley was in the first Good Beer Guide back in 1974. We handed over a blue plaque to Brad, the Manager in recognition of this. Steve and Helen Milton joined us. Steve is the nephew of the pub's landlord who ran the pub 50 years ago.

  • Editor's Draught Tuesday 3 September 2024

    This pub was called Central Station back in 1974 and was in the first Good Beer Guide produced'. Back then it served Tetley Bitter & Mild. Now it serves a range of 4 cask ales. We presented a blue plaque to recognise this.

  • Brewery Trip - Timothy Taylor's Monday 22 July 2024

    This is a brewery tour apparently!

    A quick snap from the interesting and informative brewery trip around Timothy Taylor's ... or alternatively it could be the Leeds CAMRA 5-a-side football team n their rare third kit just outside the training ground.

  • Chequers Inn, Ledsham Saturday 20 July 2024

    On Saturday 20th July 9 hardy souls made their way to the Chequers Inn at Ledsham to present the first of five blue plaques.

    The plaques are being presented to the remaining five out of eight original Good Beer Guide entrants in our area from 50 years ago.

    We were blessed with a fine sunny day, and good beer as we sat out in the beer garden at the rear. The photo shows the treasurer Keith presenting the award to Felix on behalf of Chequers with chair person Christine also in shot.
