Nottingham Castle, UK --640 different beers have
arrived at at Nottingham Castle for the second Robin
Hood Beer Festival
run by the Campaign for Real Ale
(CAMRA) -setting the world record for the Largest
selection of Real Ales
.
As well as a massive array

There are only a couple of other ale festivals
as large as Nottingham's and they tend to have fewer beers
in larger quantities. In contrast, brewers are required to
bring to Nottingham smaller firkins, meaning there's room
for more ales.
Councillor Unczur said: "It's great that visitors
to this year's popular Robin
Hood Beer Festival
will be able to raise a glass to
Nottingham's ambitions to host World Cup matches in nine years.
It will be even better if everyone who tries the special 2018
ale backs our bid."
CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) campaigns for real
ale, real pubs and consumer rights. CAMRA is an independent,
voluntary organisation with 90,000 members and have been described
as the most successful consumer group in Europe.
CAMRA promotes good-quality real ale and pubs,
as well as acting as the consumer's champion in relation to
the UK and European beer and drinks industry.
The Guinness world record for the largest
beer selection
in a bar was set by Dave Alexander of the
Brickskeller, Washington, DC, with a total of 1,072 different
beers.
