Emmerdale’s iconic pub The Woolpack has received a unique honour.

The Campaign for Real Ale’s (CAMRA) Good Beer Guide is celebrating its 52nd edition. Alternative covers of the 2025 edition include the Emmerdale village pub and rival ITV soap Coronation Street’s Rovers Return Inn.

CAMRA chairman Ash Corbett-Collins said: “The Rovers Return Inn and the Woolpack represent the UK’s love of their local, and to have them featured on the covers for this year’s guide is very exciting. CAMRA’s mission is to ensure support from the government as well as tangible legislation to protect pubs in this country.

“By next year’s edition of the guide, we want to be talking about the beer and pub trade growing with the support of communities and parliament alike.” The guide, which lists 4,500 of the best pubs across the UK, is the definitive beer drinker’s guide for those seeking the best pints - and is on sale now.

Despite the tough trading environment facing a lot of licensees, they continue to battle against the odds, and the 2025 guide boasts over 900 pubs that are new to this edition.

Information in the guide is collated by thousands of CAMRA volunteers who give up their time every year to select the best of the best across the UK. As well as covering 399 of the very best pubs across Yorkshire, it includes 79 new pub entries across the county.

The Good Beer Guide 2025 is set to be published on Thursday, September 26 and is available to order here.
