Welcome

A warm welcome to the website of Ayrshire & Wigtownshire CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale.  Geographically, our branch is located in South West Scotland and  covers an area of approximately 1600 square miles (4185 km²)

We have almost 600 members who are passionate about pub-going and real ale while having fun at the same time.  We are a very active branch with regular social activities and a successful festival held in early October each year.  In addition, we publish a multi-award-winning branch magazine called Full Pints, with issues printed and distributed quarterly. 

Please have a look around our website, or better still, come and join us in a pub for a beer or two.

Over £1100 was raised for Return to Life our festival in 2025

Champion Beer of Britain (CBoB) Nominations

It’s that time of year again for members to reflect on the beers they have enjoyed over the past 12 months and consider them worthy candidates for nomination. Beers with the most nominations will feature in heats held during 2027.

There are two ways that members can carry out this task.

  1. Attend one of our area branch socials in September or October, where you can complete the task using paper and pencil while enjoying a beer or two.
  2. Go to https://camra.org.uk/cbob and enter your nominations digitally. The process is straightforward and only takes a few minutes.

Ayrshire & Wigtownshire branch has, for several years, had the highest percentage of members fulfilling this task, and we would like to maintain this status.
