About Real Ale Society
We are a society who promotes the enjoyment and appreciation of real ale and craft beer (we also don't mind a cider or whisky) in a relaxed and sociable atmosphere. We meet regularly across York's many pubs, holding themed pub crawls, pub quizzes, and the occasional trips to beer festivals and breweries. Whether you've already got a taste for beer, would like to know more about this wonderful drink, or simply aren't a fan of clubbing and just want to go down the pub, we'd love to meet you!
Meeting Times
We meet every week, usually on Tuesday evenings from 7pm onwards, but occasionally on Wednesday or Thursday evenings. Brewery tours or trips to beer festivals are more likely to happen on Saturdays. Make sure to regularly check our social media for updates on events.
