As well as the city, Plympton, Plymstock, and the market town areas of Ivybridge and Tavistock are located within the branch area.

LocAle Scheme

Our LocAle Scheme encourages pubs to stock at least one beer from a local brewery located within 30 miles from the pub. This helps to reduce “beer miles”, boosts the local economy and creates an increased sense of local identity and pride – let’s celebrate what makes our region unique ! Please follow the link for full details of this scheme.

CAMRA Discount Scheme

The CAMRA Discount Scheme enables pubs to promote their business to our members and hopefully encourage more trade. The discount given will be advertised free of charge in our Drake's Drinker Magazine, as well as on this website and the National CAMRA website. We can also provide posters to advertise the offer to visitors. If you are the licensee of a pub and are interested in taking part in this scheme, please contact our Branch Vice Chairman, Ian Dickinson, at ku.gro.armac.htuomylp@namriahceciv
