We're in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide 2020
At the Champ we pride ourselves on the quality of our beer and we can confidently say that you won't find better kept beer in Cambridge.
Want more proof, though? We're listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide 2020.
Out of more than 50,000 pubs in Britain, only 4,500 (just 9%) of the finest outlets for real ale are chosen for inclusion in the Good Beer Guide. Pubs in the Guide are chosen by local CAMRA members who go through a rigorous process to ensure only the best pubs are selected.
But the proof is in the pudding, so if you want to know quite how good our beer is then you'll just have to come in and taste it! In the meantime, you can find the full selection below.
Ales - it's what we do
Guest Ales
Because variety is the spice of life! We change our guest ales every few weeks to keep things interesting - this is what's on now.
Black Sheep Best Bitter, 3.8%
Brewed with whole flower English hops, Best Bitter packs a genuine spiky bitterness with big character. Challenger, Goldings and Fuggle hops blend to create a beautiful aroma and flavour with kicks of grassy freshness and a big peppery punch. The Maris Otter malt offers a light sweetness that balances against those big bitter characters.
Robinsons Unicorn, 4.2%
Dripping with heritage, Unicorn is a magnificent, thirst-quenching, thoroughbred bitter. A spicy and hoppy aroma goes along with perfectly balanced bitterness and sweetness. Unicorn was also a Silver Medal Winner at the Brewing Industry International Awards!
The Rev James, Original, 4.5%
Based on a recipe from 1885 The Rev. James Original is rich and well-balanced with a mellow malty flavour that unexpectedly gives way to a clean, refreshing finish. Brewed using exclusive Buckleys’ yeast this award winning ale will save your soul and satisfy your thirst.
