Welcome to the Furness Branch of CAMRA You can scroll text in each box if there is more than you can see! Another pub bites the dust Although it is in Westmorland Branch and not Furness, we are devastated to learn that The New Union in Kendal is to close. Rising costs, again, made it impossible to continue. This cannot continue or there won't be any pubs left. Join CAMRA and help us bring pressure on Government to do something to stop this appalling situation. Barrow's latest cask ale pub! During the Logan Beck Tap Takeover at the White Lion Barrow-in-Furness on 10th February 2026, Adam Taylor, Landlord, receives the Furness CAMRA award for Best Newcomer serving Cask Ale from Furness Member Andy Donnan Branch Trips and Outings Pictures from our Trips (not all of them!) are on the: Trips and Tours page. Indie Beer CAMRA is supporting IndieBeer which is focussed on Independent Breweries rather than the global players. If you want to know if your beer is produced by an independent brewery rather than a Global Corporation then this is the site that you need. Find out if the beer you are drinking is produced by an Indie or not by going to their website on Indie Beer. Support your local independent breweries - we need them! Real Cider Producers CAMRA has a definition of what is real cider (you can find this and more information on the main CAMRA website - the link is at the bottom of our Cider and Perry Page) but as a helper, this is what we have as a list as of February 2025. Have a look and see if the cider in your pub conforms to the definition Real Cider Producers Feb 2025. Branch Presentations See the latest presentations for CAMRA awards for Furness pubs and breweries on the Presentations page. IMPORTANT - Handpump Hijack CAMRA has launched a campaign to raise awareness of Carlsberg Marston’s Brewing Company’s (CMBC) Fresh Ale concept, which sells keg versions of three of its cask beers through handpumps – long associated with real ales. We need all members to get involved in helping CAMRA with the campaign to identify pubs where this 'Fresh' ale fake handpump is used as it has a major impact on whether that pub can be considered for inclusion in the next Good Beer Guide, or even remain in the current Guide. 'Misleading Dispense' is one of the areas that CAMRA takes very seriously. To read more about this, visit CAMRA's dedicated page here
