The following criteria are used by our branch to select entries for the Good Beer Guide:

 

• A longlist is prepared from twelve months’ beer scoring (NBSS) statistics

• All pubs with a minimum average score of 3.0 from five or more members are included

• A score in each of the four quarters is preferred, although consideration is given if just one quarter is missing

• Volunteers then survey each of the eligible pubs

• Each borough has a target allocation (Croydon 9; Sutton 5)

• Final selection then takes place by voting at a branch meeting. (The current statistics - including ‘confidence rating’ as well as any comments by the surveyor - are available to members present)
