Well, the Campaign for Real Ale (Camra) has just released its latest Good Beer Guide – and quite a few of our beloved pubs have made the cut.
The guide, which lists 4,500 of the best pubs across the UK, is the definitive beer drinker’s guide – and it’s on sale here
Information is collated by thousands of volunteers and almost 20 pubs in Bedford and the surrounding area are featured this time around.
Unfortunately, Camra won't let us reveal all the pubs included – you'll have to buy the guide to see the full list – so here are just 10 to wet your whistle. Cheers.
9. The Swan With Two Nicks, Sharnbrook
Again, you'll find this boozer in the High Street. It has an attractive enclosed rear courtyard and patio garden. Not only does the Two Nicks serve home-cooked meals with locally-sourced ingredients, it also boasts a selection of award-winning wines to boot Photo: Google
10. Three Cranes, Turvey
This 17th century coaching inn reopened 10 years ago as a free house. Located in the village's High Street, it offers a good choice of cask beers and home-cooked food. There are even five luxury bedrooms upstairs Photo: Google
