NATIONAL ANGLING COUNCIL

 

 


Back 		It is a little known fact that the council officers, often seen with the Good Beer Guide tucked under one arm,  are dedicated real ale drinkers and will sniff out a likely watering hole wherever they may be. On this page you will find beers that we have sampled at each event.
