CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale, has announced the date and venue for its 40th birthday Awards Lunch and Champion Beer of Britain Presentations.

The event will be held at the recently re-opened National Brewery Centre in Burton on Saturday October 22nd. 

The aim of the event is also to congratulate winners of CAMRA national competitions during the current calendar year.

Keith Spencer, CAMRA national director and event organiser, said: "We are proud and excited to be bringing the event to the home of British brewing at a time when our organisation is toasting 40 years of campaigning for quality and choice in the beer market. 

"The National Brewery Centre is packed with history and we look forward to re-calling some of the crowning moments in British brewing during our afternoon at the venue."

Laura Bradshaw, National Brewing Centre catering and events manager, added: "It is a great honour for both the National Brewery Centre and the town of Burton upon Trent to be hosting CAMRA's Awards Lunch which is particularly significant as it is their 40th anniversary year. 

"I am really pleased that our successful relationship with Burton and Derbyshire CAMRA has progressed to a national level. The National Brewery Centre and Burton upon Trent represent the "home of brewing" and this is an ideal location for such prestigious events."

Beer drinkers will find out who will walk away with this year's Champion Beer of Britain award on Tuesday 2 August.
