The Good Beer Guide for 2023 has been released, with eight pubs from Brighton making it onto the list.
The guide is made up of a range of pubs that have impressed volunteers after they've visited each venue and tasted all the beers on offer.
Volunteers then rate the pubs based on their quality of beer, atmosphere, location and ability to accommodate real ale drinkers.
It features beer-serving establishments selected by members of CAMRA - Campaign for Real Ale.
The places that made the list are probably worth keeping note of for your next trip to the pub.
