Ancillary data such as beer lists, food, opening times etc, is probably
valuable to CAMRA, but I don't see it as relevant to OSM. These sort of
things change so often, it's out of date almost as soon as it's
recorded. Just a tag to their website is needed.
However a list of just pub names & locations that could be checked
against OSM database would potentially benefit both parities. Pubs that
are only in OSM could be listed in What Pub as a 'to do' so encourage
CAMRA members to pay them a visit.
I was trying to find out how many GB pubs/bars there were in OSM. Didn't
Taginfo used to have a option to just search the UK? It appears to have
been removed. Is there another way?

I did discuss this with the local CAMRA representative responsible for
the pub data, about 18 months ago.
The data in WhatPub should essentially be regarded as a commercial
dataset which has value for CAMRA (for instance in persuading people
to join, or as base data for the Good Beer Guide): they are unlikely
to want to make it freely available to OSM.
On the other hand using an OSM base map ought to be a reasonable thing
to do.

My concern is the quality of their location data - they suffer
from the well known myth that a postcode defines the location. I
have helped in a few specific cases but the local branch didn't
seem interested in for example checking the locaion of pubs before
uploading.
This then leads to concerns that the licence is problematic as
presumably googles geocoder has been used.

Hi
http://whatpub.com/pubs/MAN/9899/eagle-inn-salford
Considering CAMRA's What Pub? website is volunteer, crowd
sourced, I was mildly disappointed to see it using Google
maps. I've just this minute written an email to them
explaining some of the advantages of using OSM. I thought if
any actual CAMRA members here could also chip in it might
persuade them to swap over. [email protected].

It might even be possible to share databases to improve the
quality of both.
