Northants branch of CAMRA launches the 2026 Ale Trail around pubs of Northamptonshire.

The Ale Trail launches at the Potbelly Beer Festival on the 7-9th May and the County Beer Festival, Northampton on 29th-30th May……….………….And ends on the 31st August 2026.

The trail is split in two, West & North, but you can do some or all of each trail to qualify for prizes!

Collect a sticker in each pub by purchasing a half or pint of LOCALLY brewed REAL ALE.

To give you more flexibility we have introduced a ‘points’ system – town pubs (Green) are 1 point and rural pubs (Yellow) are 2 points. So you can choose how many pubs you visit to get your prize.

Once you have collected 20 points (from any of the 47 pubs), you qualify for the opportunity of an Ale Trail Glass*. (*a limited number, so first come, first served!)

Swap your Ale Trail card for a glass at either: The Albion Brewery Bar, Northampton or The Midland Band Club, Kettering.
