Northampton pub praised for ‘excellent pint’ as it makes national beer guide
A Northampton pub has earned a place in a prestigious national guide after being praised for the quality of its real ale.
The Cordwainer, in The Ridings, has been included in CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide 2027, which was published on Thursday, September 24.
Members of the Northampton branch of the Campaign for Real Ale selected the Wetherspoon pub following regular visits to assess the quality of the real ales being served.
Customer service, décor and the overall atmosphere of the pub were also taken into consideration.
A CAMRA spokesperson said: “The Cordwainer deserves its place in The Good Beer Guide 2027.
“It is our belief that if a licensee serves an excellent pint of real ale, then everything else in the pub, including customer service, quality of food and atmosphere, are likely to be of an equally high standard.”
Pub manager Ian Gardner said he was delighted with the recognition.
He added: “Staff at the pub work hard to ensure that the real ales on offer are kept in first-class condition at all times and the pub’s inclusion in the guide highlights this.”
The Cordwainer serves real ales from regional brewers and microbrewers and also holds its own beer festivals.
