Pub Culture Meets Sobriety: A Chat with CAMRA's Katie on 'Wet and Dry'

The most surprising thing was the way drinking opened up a space for men to behave in alternative ways that aren't so associated with masculinity.
What happens when you mix the cherished British pub culture with a journey towards sobriety? In this episode of 'Wet and Dry', hosts Geoff and Matt dive into this intriguing blend with Katie, a beer blogger from CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale). Pubs have long been the social heartbeat of British society, a place where friendships blossom and stories unfold.
Geoff and Matt, who first met in a pub themselves, explore how these beloved institutions can still play a significant role in a sober lifestyle. Katie brings her wealth of knowledge and personal experiences to the table, discussing the history and mission of CAMRA, the rise of low and no-alcohol beverages, and the pressing need for diversity in the beer industry.
This conversation is not just about beer; it's about finding balance, maintaining social connections, and redefining what it means to enjoy pub culture without the buzz. Whether you're a pub regular or someone curious about navigating sobriety in a world that loves a good pint, this episode offers valuable insights and plenty of relatable moments. So, grab your favorite non-alcoholic drink and join Geoff, Matt, and Katie for a refreshing take on pubs and sobriety.
