Each of the 28 independent pubs have been chosen for their great atmosphere and drinks on offer.
The 2021 guide features 409 pubs across the Yorkshire region, with 33 newly listed, plus 195 breweries.
It is the 49th edition of CAMRA's best-selling The Good Beer Guide, with contributors encouraging readers to support their local pubs and breweries in the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Guide, which surveys 4,500 pubs across the UK, is considered the definitive beer drinker’s guide to the very best pints in the most picturesque and friendly pubs.
Despite being hampered by lockdowns and restrictions in the early part of this year, thousands of independent volunteers have worked together to compile this year’s entries, helping to identify significant trends and themes locally and nationally.
CAMRA National Chairman Nik Antona said: “After the struggles of the past 18 months for the industry, it is great that The Good Beer Guide figures are showing the resilience of pubs and brewers in the face of strife – a national increase in brewery numbers after they dipped last year for the first time, as well as over 500 new pub entries.
"This is great to see, especially coupled with the news from the Government’s latest Budget, including the announcement of a new, lower rate of duty for draught beer and cider.
“However, the industry is still vulnerable in the aftermath of COVID-19 lockdowns. Breweries still face issues around costs of goods, lack of business rate relief and silence from the Government on Small Brewers’ Relief reform. We are calling on the Government to make sure the new draught duty rate applies to containers 20L and up so that all our small and independent brewers can benefit.”
The Good Beer Guide 2022 is now available from the CAMRA shop at and there is an updated app version available for download on both iOS and Android device.
These are the Leeds pubs featured in the list:
7. Further North
Micropub Further North, in Harrogate Road, Chapel Allerton, also bagged a spot in the Good Beer Guide. The "quirky retro" feel of the bar and the "welcoming, family-friendly" atmosphere were praised, with particular note there being no TVs. Alongside cask ale, the guide states that there are seven UK and continental beers and a "fridge stocked with quality world beers".
8. The Old Cock
The Old Cock in Crossgate, Otley, has been included in the guide again. The guide stated: "An award-winning and genuine free house which has been cleverly converted from a former cafe ́ in such a way that you would think it had been a pub for many years."
9. Friends of Ham
The Good Beer Guide also included Friends of Ham, in new Station Street. It noted its "wide range of interesting beers" and the three or six sampling tray on offer.
10. Wapentake
Wapentake, in Kirkgate, was highlighted for its locally sourced beers, usually from smaller breweries in the area, and for "effortlessly" attracting a wide age range of people.
11. The Bankers Cat
Relatively new pub The Bankers Cat, in Boar Lane, opened in 2019. It made the guide this year due to its selection of beers, which includes one dark beer. The guide also noted its stained-glass window and small library of books.
12. Assembly Underground
Street food haven Assembly Underground, in Calverley Street, was described as a "clever refurbishment of a Grade II listed building". The Vocation Brewery bar within the food and drink hall was praised for its 50 taps and mention was given to the separate gin bar.
