NCT, NET and CAMRA Launch New Beer by Bus and Tram Guide

Drinkers looking for a good pint of real ale in Nottingham have been given a helping hand, thanks to the launch of a new Beer by Bus and Tram Guide this weekend.

The new Guide, officially launched on Friday 9th October at the Nottingham Beer Festival, features 45 local pubs that serve real ale, as recommended by Nottingham CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) in partnership with Nottingham City Transport and NET.

All 45 pubs are easily accessible on the NCT bus and NET tram network, 7 days a week including evenings and the Guide includes a dedicated page for each pub showing:

• opening times
• a photograph of the pub
• beers available
• a brief description about the pub
• information about food availability
• the suggested bus/tram route and stop nearest to the pub
  

Spyke Golding, Chairman of the Nottingham branch of CAMRA said, “Nottingham is very fortunate to have so many good local pubs serving real ale. CAMRA member Ray Kirby has done a great job identifying the best local pubs and we are delighted to be working with Nottingham City Transport and NET to promote and publicise 45 of these pubs, all of which are easily accessible on the bus and tram.”

The Beer by Bus and Tram Guide is available at the local pubs included within the guide, all normal NCT timetable outlets, the NCT Travel Centre in the Old Market Square and online.

Anthony Carver-Smith, NCT Marketing Manager commented, “Using public transport is the safest way for people to enjoy responsible drinking. By working with CAMRA, we look forward to welcoming people on to the NCT bus and tram network as they explore the many good real ale pubs on our network”.
