CAMRA [Campaign for Real Ale] was founded in the most Westerly pub in Europe - Kruger's Bar in Dunquin, Co Kerry, when four young men from the north west of England, Michael Hardman, Graham Lees, Bill Mellor and Jim Makin were on holiday. Fed up the increasing bad quality of beer in Britain that was too fizzy, no character and no taste they decided to form a Campaign for the Revitalisation of Ale.
The blog post for this line is troublesome as it's on Live Journal and is log-in required to read it. I don't have a Live Journal login. Here's the link anyway. Good luck with it.
