What can I find on the Forth Valley CAMRA website?

The Forth Valley CAMRA site (forthvalley.camra.org.uk) is the branch website for the Campaign for Real Ale covering Forth Valley and the Trossachs. It is mainly a navigation and reference resource: branch diary and calendar, local pub and brewery listings, branch awards and meeting minutes, festival details, member discounts, and a members' area. There is no pricing information on the site, and the members' area implies a login, so treat that section as restricted rather than open.

Branch diary and calendar

The site carries both a Branch Diary and a Branch Calendar, plus a Regional Calendar and a Regional and Other Beer Events page. These are where you find dated local events rather than general CAMRA news.

Two festivals are listed with concrete details:

For the Alloa festival the site states: no tickets required, pay at door; free entry for CAMRA members on production of a current membership card; £3 for a non-refundable glass and programme; £10 for all others; free re-admission with glass and programme; over-18s only. A Larbert 2026 Real Ale and Cider Festival page also appears in the menu, along with a beer and cider list and a volunteers page.

Pubs, clubs and breweries

• Branch Real Ale Pubs — a map and list of all pubs and clubs in the branch area.
• Locale Pubs and Pubs in Branch Area — further pub listings.
• Branch Breweries — breweries located in the branch area.
• National pub guide — a link out to CAMRA's national pub guide.

If your goal is finding a real ale pub near a specific town in Forth Valley, the map-and-list page is the most direct starting point.

Branch information and governance

• About Us and Contacts — branch description and committee contacts (the page lists the Chairperson and points to further committee members).
• Branch, Committee and AGM Meeting Minutes — records of branch meetings.
• GBG Selection Process — how the branch selects entries for the Good Beer Guide.
• Branch Awards 2025 and Branch Awards 2026 — award results; the news section names the 2026 Pub of the Year winners (dated Wednesday 29 July 2026).
• CAMRA Scotland Branches (SCOTB) — links to other Scottish branches.

Member benefits and resources

• Voucher Scheme — a branch real ale voucher scheme.
• Members Discounts In Branch Area — discounts for members at local venues.
• Members' Area — a sign-in section; access is not described as open.
• Branch File Downloads — downloadable branch files.
• Members' WhatsApp Community — a voluntary information channel for branch members, described as not a social group but a way to broadcast branch events and announcements. Members apply to join via a QR code or link.

External and national links

The site links out to CAMRA's official Twitter, the branch's own Twitter and Facebook, other CAMRA branches, national CAMRA beer festivals, What's Brewing, and a Discourse forum, plus a Join us page for CAMRA membership.

One practical note: the site states it is kindly sponsored, with a clickable logo for more information about the sponsor. If you are looking for something specific, the menu structure above is the fastest route — festival dates under Diary/Calendar, venues under the pub and brewery pages, and branch business under Minutes and Awards.
