Happy New Year to you!

Perhaps you're thinking of doing Dry January? If so, good for you. It's important to keep healthy.

But don't forget that we have some great pubs and breweries in the area, and in these tough economic times they can only keep afloat with your support.

2023 really demonstrated the lack of footfall to pubs. Without tangible support, these community beacons will be lost forever. Let's do what we can to keep them.

Our websites dudley.camra.org.uk and whatpub.com will help you find details of venues. Why not have a look to see what's around the corner. At the very least, you can always have a couple of fizzy pop, before we get in to February.

Wishing you the best for 2024.
