If you are a lager drinker and you may just settle for 'the usual' in the local, but if you are a real ale aficionado you will want to know the best watering holes for the ideal pint of the good stuff.

So real ale enthusiasts can now rejoice, as latest edition of the Good Beer Guide has now been published and 44 pubs from across West London grace the pages.

Published by CAMRA (the Campaign for Real Ale) it lists what members believe to be the best pubs in the UK for real ale.

Joining the carefully selected pubs is the Dodo Micropub in Hanwell, which opened in 2017. It is a small community focused pub serving a range of cask ales and some popular snacks.

Lucy Do opened the DoDo Micropub in 2017 after a trip to Kent

Owner Lucy Do said: "We offer a constantly rotating line up of five ales and have approximately 20 bottles or cans that also change regularly.

"We often have local ales on and you can expect to see Weird Beard Brew Co on the menu a lot being Ealing's finest craft beer brewery and just down the road from The Do.

"We have a selection of pub snacks like charcuterie, pork pies and scotch eggs, and the first Sunday of every month is 'Free Cheeseboard Sunday'.

"We work with local food businesses to host monthly food pop ups down The Dodo and also let patrons bring in their fish and chips from The Golden Chip which is just down the road from the pub."

Lucy opened the venue after she visited a micropub in Kent and she encourages a community vibe by having no music, fruit machines or televisions to allow conversation to be the main form of entertainment.

Good Beer Guide veterans The Fox, also in Hanwell, made the list again for the 15th time.

Gene Hughes, manager, said: "We are traditional English pub that is privately owned which allows us to serve what beer we want.

"We have eight beers and ales from local breweries and further afield- three are standard and five on roatation.

The Fox pub in Hanwell will be allowed to serve alcohol from a garden bar up until 8.30pm when the weather permits

"The ambiance here is very family orientated and plus dogs are allowed in - so we get walkers from the canals popping in."

All of the pubs listed in the Good Beer Guide 2019 are democratically selected by members of CAMRA who make recommendations of their favourite pubs to their local CAMRA branch.
