There is even a campaign but I think you need to have a huge beard to join  .

Which bit, the bit about the beards or the bit about the popularity of real ale ?
Seriously, I agree with you, which was kind of my point. Real ale is an England-wide phenomenon, quite popular in Wales, popular in Belfast (the major population centre in NI) but has only really taken off on the east of Scotland, not really on the west, which is why I tentatively put Scotland last on my imaginary Real-Ale popularity list.
