Real Ale Quality Assurance

Real Ale Quality Assurance (RAQA) is a standard set by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) in the UK to ensure that real ale served in pubs and breweries meets specific quality standards. It involves regular inspections and monitoring of equipment, fermentation processes, and storage practices. The goal is to guarantee that real ale retains its traditional characteristics, such as flavor and carbonation, providing consumers with a consistent and enjoyable experience. This assurance supports both brewers and publicans in maintaining high standards, ultimately benefiting beer enthusiasts who appreciate authentic, well-crafted real ale.
