This week, Rutland Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) are delighted to be relaunching their branch magazine Tiny Pint after a two-year absence. 

The 21st iteration of this free magazine will be available in pubs and clubs across the county, with more editions released throughout the year.

Tiny Pint is a key means of communication for Rutland CAMRA in promoting their branch activities along with providing news and information on the pubs and clubs of Rutland.

CAMRA is an independent organisation run by volunteers who promote and champion real ale, cider, and traditional British pubs and clubs. 

It is considered one of the most successful consumer organisations across Europe. Founded by four real ale enthusiasts back in 1971, today they represent beer drinkers and pub-goers across the UK - and the Rutland branch is no exception.

The relaunch of their volunteer-produced magazine coincides with Rutland CAMRA's 10th Beer Festival, set to take place from 22 to 25 June at the County Museum in Oakham.

This edition focuses on the festival along with details of the Oakham Ale Trail, which Rutland CAMRA are promoting in partnership with the pubs of Oakham throughout the week of 19 to 25 June.
