The Campaign for Real Ale's (CAMRA) 'Winter Warmer Wander' trail - an ale trail featuring 65 pubs - is heading to Stockport, for the first time in four years. 

The trail runs from 17 November to 30 December, and centres around Manchester, Stockport, and Tameside. 28 of the 65 pubs are based in the Stockport borough.

Casual drinkers and beer aficionados alike are invited to join the trail - CAMRA membership is not required to take part. 

The trail is "designed to bring some Christmas cheer to the region's drinkers, who are being encouraged to seek out winter beers such as stout, porter, old ale and barley wine".

To start winning prizes of bottles of beer, participants must collect stickers from a minimum of twelve different pubs and drink at least half a pint of a cask 'winter ale' in each.

Visiting more pubs will raise the stakes - exclusive CAMRA clothes are on offer for particularly dedicated participants, for example, as is a case of 12 bottles of beer. 

CAMRA organiser Sue Lightfoot said: "I am really pleased that we have been able to organise our Winter Warmer Wander once again. It's designed to be a bit of fun for both casual drinkers and beer aficionados in the run-up to Christmas. 

"Not only that, it highlights some wonderful beer styles and supports all the pubs that have agreed to take part. I'm particularly grateful to our sponsor, Robinsons Brewery, whose award-winning Old Tom will be found in a number of participating outlets. On these cold, dark nights, there's nothing like socialising in a pub with a glass of warming winter beer."
