Vale of Clwyd CAMRA have joined other CAMRA branches nationally in launching LocAle, an initiative that promotes pubs stocking locally-brewed real ale.

The scheme builds on a growing consumer demand for quality local produce and an increased awareness of 'green' issues. Pub licensees are encouraged to stock a local beer with the aim of gaining new customers, increasing sales, and reducing the miles the beer travels from Brewery to Bar. It is suggested to use the following lists and map to determine if a brewery is LocAle qualifying. Breweries located within the complete red area are considered LocAle for pubs in the Vale of Clwyd branch area.
