Shortly after returning from the 2017 CAMRA AGM in Bournemouth I suffered a minor stroke which, thankfully, did minimal physical damage. The bad news is that I have been instructed to cut down on my drinking.
I therefore have a new mission in life, to find decent low alcohol beer and wine, to persuade Wetherspoons and other outlets to supply it and persuade CAMRA to support and encourage the brewing of it.

CAMRA published my letter
My letter (or most of it) was published in this month's What's Brewing. The full version is here.
Hi Nick, I have just read your letter in What's Brewing. i am sorry to here about your recent ill health and am glad you've made a full recovery. I am not aware of any formal group within CAMRA dedicated to low/no alcohol beers. The good news is that you are in south east London where there is already and established interest in this subject. Big Drop Brewing Co brews and UBREW in Bermondsey and are currently producing a milk stout and a citra pale ale with and brown ale on the way. Also UBREW themselves have recently produced their own 0.5% ABV beer Responsibly which is also available online and at their taproom. If you would be interested I am sure that we could ask these guys nicely if we could arrange a tasting event to try and promote and encourage both the creation, availability and consumption of this category or beer.
