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.
Wadworth 6X, 4.1%
The jewel in Wadworth's crown, 6X is mid-brown in colour, malty and fruity on the nose with a balancing hoppy note. The delicious malt and fruit character emerge even more intensely on the palate with a long, lingering and malty finish.
Black Sheep, Holy Grail, 4.0%
Famously “tempered over burning witches”, Holy Grail was originally created to commemorate the30th anniversary of Monty Python. Monty Python’s Holy Grail is a light golden beer with a fresh, zesty taste and a long crisp bitter finish.
St Austell Tribute, 4.2%
A Champ favourite. It's light, hoppy, zesty, easy to drink and consistently delicious. The zesty orange and grapefruit flavours are balanced with biscuit malt and a beautiful pale finish for this superb classic.
Our Ales
We pride ourselves on having the best ales in Cambridge. These are the ones we always have on, because they're just too good not to.
Lawrence the landlord's all-time favourite beer. Malty, lovely mahogany colour and just a hint of sweet caramel.
Beers
Lagers
A light malty aroma on the nose with a little spice drifting through slowly. With a smooth offering of darker malts, toasted flavours and creamy hops.
Expertly balanced malted barley and the finest European Saaz hops give this classic Belgian beer a well-balanced flavour profile; pleasantly bitter with a refreshing finish.
Carlsberg is light, easy drinking and refreshing. The all-malt recipe and Carlsberg yeast strain give a balance between body and depth of flavour, making Carlsberg the ideal choice for any occasion.
Cyder & Pale Ale
Fruity, dry, racy, thirst-quenching and lip-smacking. Suitable for coeliacs, vegetarians and vegans.
Combining the easy-drinking tradition of British beer with the bold, hoppy flavours of American pale ales, the result is a refreshing beer with a twist of tropical fruitiness and moreish bitterness.
Wheat Beer & Stout
A wheat beer brewed with Valencia orange peel for a subtle sweetness and bright, citrus aroma. Served with an orange slice to heighten the citrus aroma and taste.
Probably the most recognisable beer there is. A perfect balance of bitter and sweet with malt and roast flavours.
